No search within music services in 4.0.2 for Windows?
Maybe I'm just missing something, but there does not seem to be a way to search within a particular music service. For example, if I choose "Amazon" or "Qobuz" from the list of music services on the left, the music service page does *not* show a search bar. There is a search bar at the top of the main menu on the left, but that's pretty useless, as it returns a number of items only vaguely related to the search terms for radio stations and heaven knows what else.
There *is* a search bar for each music service on 4.0.2 for the iPhone.
Version 4 has some nice features, and is especially appreciated because it seems very fast. I hope that the missing search bar is just an oversight.
Thanks!

Thanks @Beedum you have answered my question! That's exactly the search that I was talking about, but I did not see that the field below Search (the one that shows TuneIn on the screen shot) was a drop-down. My mistake!
One thing that I did notice on retesting: searches sometimes seem a little funky. For example, with Qobuz specified for the service to search, looking for "buxtehude trio sonatas" and "buxtehude trio" returned "No Content Found", but performing exactly the same searches on the Qobuz web player (play.qobuz.com) returned appropriate albums and tracks. Similarly, searching for "rachmaninoff isle of the dead" returned a "No Content" message but searching for "rachmaninoff" worked. In fact, another search for "rachmaninoff isle of the dead" confused BluOS so badly that it decided that it could not find the player, even though the app on my phone could. Restarting Windows eventually fixed that.
Hopefully these kinds of sneaky bugs will be ironed out over the next few weeks.

Not sure if I understood everything correctly. But did you select your music service below the search field?
Search for Qobuz works fine for me. Search in local library doesn't work with windows controller 4.0.0.

I too have an issue with search as it's currently implemented. For example a search in Qobuz for "Cowboy Junkies" returns a list of songs, then playlists, then albums in no particular order, then artist hidden below the bottom of the screen requiring scrolling. Why isn't the artist prioritized and placed at the top?
Searching the local library is broken and returns no results.

Hey Brian
We are seeing odd results in the Desktop App and our Product Development Team is investigating. Look for a fix to this very shortly. Other App platforms should be good in the in terim.
We do apologise for the inconvenience.
