Yeah, I have triggers set up for searching tracks, artists, and albums. So I can just do that fine and get the song I want, but issues arise if I have songs of the same name but are actually different (this situation arises with covers done by other artists, different albums with different versions of the same song, or just the chance coincidence that the track titles are the same). Then I have to sort of guess which track is the one I want. If I could just type in the track title and then also type in the album name or artist name after that would help alleviate the issue.
I guess another solution to this problem would be to show the artist/ album of each song you have selected in small text in the QS display (similar to how file paths are shown for files in small text). Then I could find the correct song easily. Maybe this might be easier to implement?
