Which control point are you using, and what kind of searching are you doing with Twonky? It would be very useful for me to have some real-life scenarios of how people currently use Search to find things in their collection.

Hi Simon,

Kinsky has this search facility (Filter) in folder view.

To access scroll down at top of list.

Hi George,
Kinsky Filtering is useful, but it's much less powerful than UPnP Search. The Kinsky Filter facility runs locally in Kinsky and does simple text string matching within the container currently being displayed. UPnP Search sends a query from the control point to the server and can search multiple containers using a rich combination of different filters, although most or all control points and servers impose limitations on how much of this they support.

For example, with Kinsky Filtering I could search the current container for any item containing the string "Red". With UPnP Search I could search my complete collection for albums with a title containing the string "Red" and an artist name containing the string "John" and a date between 1993 and 2005 (for example). There's quite a big difference!
