Can UPnP Search also search playlists?

For example I have about 100 playlists (and growing) and I have recently had a reason to search for a particular artist's track among them to find the right playlist. The search only returns the artists/tracks that match though - so is it feasible for it to include any playlists that contain tracks or artists with the search string in the return also?

This is not supported by MinimServer or by any control points and it would be very difficult to implement this given the constraints of the UPnP Search specification.

This depends on the search query sent by the control point. Which control point are you using?
