I've tried to implement this, but I found out that there should be used probably aother approach for 'Now Playing' node, because this node is quite different from others.

Possible approaches:

1) Leave the functionality same as for other nodes
i.e.
Somewhere (under Search Results node?) show filtered Now Playing list (the tracks that satisfy the search criteria)
Disadvantage: After double click or trying to play the found tracks the current NP list will be overwritten.

2) Show only filtered (found by search criteria) tracks too, but after doule-clicking the track will be first found in NP list and then played.
Advantage: The NP list will not be overwriten
Disadvantage: How to solve this for multi-select (when user select > 1 tracks and trigger 'Play now') - then the order of NP list will be changed anyway.

3) Only to highlight tracks in NP list that satisfies the search criteria in order to not change the current NP playlist after start playing of the found (desired,highlighted) track.

Assigning to Rusty to review these approaches.

Your totally right--I hadn't thought of this: when the user is searching the NP list it's more akin to searching a document than it is to searching for records within the library.

This would mean that the 3rd approach is probably best, though I can think of a variant that might make even more sense:

4) Switch focus to the next instance of a track in the NP list that matches the search query (in exactly the same manner as page search works in the firefox browser). Searching again would find the next instance within the NP list.
