General search - the standard search bar reached via the magnifying glass in the upper right corner. Works like a google search.
Library search - By Artist, Album, Tracks, Composer, etc... Once the library is selected, you can start typing. If the results are presented in a grid (like a spreadsheet) you can select the column, start typing, or change the sort order.
Focus - perhaps the most powerful component of Roon search - it provides numerous parameters to select on. Note that this can be combined with the Libraries and some the parameters that can be selected will changed based on the library. Definitely worth exploring this powerful feature.
Now, I don't use Tidal so am not certain if all the above works throughout Tidal as well, but I suspect it does.
Hey, I've been using Roon for going on 2 years and still learning new things about it. Of course, just keeping up with new features that routinely get released is also fascinating. My guess is that the more you learn and explore, the more you'll release the power behind Roon's design.
Thank you for a great answer!
Seems like the search in Tidal is not as great as the search for local files . I can always put songs in a playlist or add it to my favorites to find it easy in Roon, but would be great if I could just search like I do in the Tidal app.
Just a quick example: Try searching for "Despacito" in the Tidal app vs Roon. No, I don't like the song, but just an example. In Roon it's almost impossible to find it, in Tidal you only have to type "Desp..." for it to find it.
