Is there any reason why playlists are not searchable?  
I drive myself batty every time I update my main playlist having to scroll through hundreds of songs to see if the one I’m adding already exists.

If the exact same song is already on the list, it won’t add a duplicate. So, add away.

I’ve had multiple song instances present on a single playlist if for example if one is from a compilation disc.  
Still, the primary issue is the same song by different artists.  
Search would also be helpful to determine if a particular disc has already been added or not.  
Is adding search to playlists ever coming?
