Search & Find

Tauon provides two powerful ways to find music: global search and quick find.

Global Search

The global search compiles different types of results from all playlists. It automatically activates when you start typing.

Search Results

Global search returns results in multiple categories:

• Artists - All tracks by an artist
• Albums - All tracks from an album
• Tracks - Individual tracks
• Genres - All tracks in a genre
• Folders - All tracks from a folder

Actions

• Click an Artist, Genre, or Folder result → Creates a new playlist of that result
• Click a Track or Album result → Plays it
• Right click any result → Locates the result without playing or creating a playlist
• Ctrl + click → Adds the result to the current playlist without closing the search

Quick Find

The find box locates tracks within the currently viewed playlist only.

Using Quick Find

1. Press Ctrl + F to open the find box
2. Type your search terms
3. Use UP or DOWN arrow keys to jump to the next or previous matching result

Advanced Find

Press Shift + Enter to create a new playlist of all matching results.

Advanced Uses

Since find searches filenames, you can:

• Find artists in features that may not be picked up by global search
• Create a playlist of tracks of a single file type (e.g., search .ogg)

Search Tips

• Global search is best for discovering content across all playlists
• Quick find is ideal for filtering the current playlist
• Use quick find with Shift + Enter to create filtered playlist views
• Both search methods are case-insensitive
