Allow search strings to persist when music source is switched

[zak_neutron]

When using Rhythmbox I use a variety of "music sources" - local library, shared podcast directory, daap streamed music. Due to the size of these music sources - I use the search box extensively.

The problem is the search only works if you have selected the music source. If I'm in the "wrong" music source - the search fails. If I then click in the correct music source - the search string disappears!

Either allow the search string to persist across different music sources, or better still allow the search option to search all ALL music sources

Some observations

1. When I select Radio source, grey text in the search box shows "Search your internet radio stations" - this is "accurate"
2. When I select my music library, grey text in search box shows "Search all fields" - this is misleading
3. Confirmed the search box is cleared when I switch music source

I think the "bug" here is the misleading "search all fields text". I also agree there is a usability improvement that could be made to persist the text in the search box.
