Users have been asking for this feature for years, and it now looks like Google is finally responding.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"no way playlist search is finally here v0 amqyed9d5l1g1\"  alt=\"no way playlist search is finally here v0 amqyed9d5l1g1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/no-way-playlist-search-is-finally-here-v0-amqyed9d5l1g1.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/YoutubeMusic\/comments\/1oyh5n7\/no_way_playlist_search_is_finally_here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Reddit user<\/a> reported seeing a new \u201cFind in Playlist\u201d option in the YouTube Music iOS app. According to the user, the feature is available on version 8.45.3 of the app, and they confirmed they\u2019re based in India. They also noted that while they can search within playlists, they still can\u2019t search through radios saved to their library.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although it seems like a simple feature, one that should have been available on an app like YouTube Music from day one, playlist search has been a major pain point for users for years. Until now, the only way to search within playlists has been by using browser extensions on desktop, leaving app users without a built-in way to search their playlists.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the rollout of the new feature seems extremely limited as of now. Android and iOS users commented on the Reddit thread, saying they can\u2019t see the \u201cFind in Playlist\u201d option just yet. We also checked the same version of the YouTube Music app on iOS in India, and the playlist search option isn\u2019t showing up for us. It\u2019s possible that the feature is currently in an A\/B testing phase, a common approach Google takes before widely releasing new features.<\/p>\n<p>When and if the feature is made available more broadly, it should show up when you tap the three-dot menu next to a playlist. It would be especially useful for YouTube Music users who have massive playlists, allowing them to quickly locate specific tracks without endless scrolling.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we\u2019ll just have to wait and watch if Google decides to roll out the feature to everyone or test it more widely.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
