When searching music in Plex Amp for Android Auto, please allow us to search by multiple letters.

It’s so slow and cumbersome to only allow a single letter. If I have 100 artists that start with “S”, it takes, literally ages, to scroll that awful vertical list to find an artist at the end of the list.

The Android auto safety lock out makes this process take minutes. If we could add multiple letters to our search, it would streamline the experience greatly.

There is no provision to do any searching in Android Auto; the by-letter Artist browsing is a work around for that.
