[SlimDevices: Plugins] New to Spotty and Spotify: Combined search?

Hi, I just subscribed to Spotify, mainly because LMS integration is available. As a new user to both Spotify and the Spotty plugin, I'm wondering whether there is any way to search both my library and Spotify's content? If that is possible at all, is it also possible to select whether all

Would it be a great effort to keep the A-Z option in? I'd prefer to have it around, at least for a while, for two (admittedly minor) reasons: - I observe a tendency in myself to listen more to the stuff that turns up at the top of the lists. It's quite easy to get distracted by the shiny album
