Any way to embed a search box on the desktop?

cmpm:
Yes, Carol, I was thinking of those as well.
But I thought they may be too much for the specific task stated.
I think 'Everything' would be fine if you remember the variables to type in.

I would bet one of the mediaplayers would be perfect for the request.
Since it's just an artist name or song name to choose.
Not sure which one could perform through a search box like that.
Some kind of minimal view with an index or playlist to choose from.
Never thought of it I guess...till now.

Target:
how would you handle an artist - start playing at the first entry, prompt for an action, display a list?

and what formats?

Carol Haynes:
I tried FARR (used to have it installed but for some reason hadn't used it for ages) and that works fine for finding artists and song titles and is pretty damn minimal (even portable if you want).

cmpm:
Cool! I haven't used FARR in a while myself.
For music I just right click the folder I want to play and hit play with mpc or vlc usually.
Of course someone with a lot more songs then me might want something with more specifics.

Carol Haynes:
Anyone know how to use FARR to search file property data as well as file names?
