Bugzilla – Bug 17648
Search option on IP3K players when set on main menu is broken

Tested on Boom and Transporter. 7.6.1 On further investigation this also is the case in 7.7 RC5 When adding the search for album/artist/track in the SBServer on main menu of the Boom or Transporter, the search function does not work from the main menu in 7.7 or 7.6.1 but it worked in 7.5.5 Does anyone else notice this issue?
Yes, I can confirm this. Tested in 7.7.0 trunk with an SB3. I moved 'Search for Artists' to the Home menu, then tried doing a search. When you press the right arrow after entering a search string it pushes right, but then it just re-displays the search string.
I can also confirm that it's broken in 7.6.2, but works correctly in 7.5.6.
Alan - could this be a onebrowser issue?
Probably
Yes, the intention with onebrowser was to remove this capability (along with the equivalent direct-entry IR action). The call to Slim::Buttons::Search::init() was erroneously left in place. To make this functionality work Slim::Buttons::XMLBrowser would need to be enhanced to handle a type=search object at the top level (on setMode) or equivalent code in BrowseLibrary.
Yes, after telling you for six weeks
