If I'm in the Songs tab and do a search for a song containing a particular word, it filters the list nicely for that song.
However, if I then switch to the Setlists tab, or any of the Collections / Artists / Albums / Genres tabs, they are now empty because it's still applying the song filter to those tabs. I'd suggest that this is unintuitive and in most cases not what the user wants, because in general names of songs do not double as the names of setlists / collections / artists / albums / genres. (There are occasional exceptions, e.g. for the title track of an album, but it doesn't make sense to optimise for the corner cases in preference to the majority of cases.) So it would be less confusing and more helpful if the text search for songs only applied to the Songs tab.
