@Spotify went back to doing this really annoying thing of "creating a playlist within a playlist" when you search for a song in a playlist. It is so freaking annoying and makes no practical sense.
Suppose I search for "black" in a playlist. All songs with the word "black" get filtered (let's say I got 5 songs in this search). I found the song I wanted, double-clicked it, it started playing. Cool, job done, clear search so that the next song is from the rest of the playlist
SYKE! Now, all the player plays are the 5 songs from the search, EVEN AFTER CLEARING IT.
This is SO wrong. Think of it in terms of UX:
- I cleared my search, so my full playlist is now visible.
- For some odd reason, the same 5 songs keep repeating themselves.

Not only the UX of this is bad, but also there's no possible use case for this to exist:
1) If you're searching for a specific song, you're gonna listen to it, period. No need for "songs with a similar name".

2) If you're interested in playing songs by artist or album, just click their names and go to the artist or album page.
3) EVEN if you want to listen to a few songs from the search you did, you can just "Add to queue" and go back to the full playlist.
I'm astonished that this behavior has existed for so many years, then FINALLY got fixed, and now it came back.
