Feature Request: Quick filter (Search) on top and always available in the media menu
----------
Windows Explorer and most of programs have search that is on top which results in fast filtering.
However, Kodi lacks this but it's possible to implement with slight skin modification.
If we enable filtering everywhere and position it on top we can achieve a very similar result, resulting in a fast to access search feature from anywhere within Kodi.
While using a keyboard this is extremely useful, you can type the name of the show immediately and you will find it. Just press the left arrow and type the show name to find it.
This is already possible, I've achieved it by modifying the XML of Includes_MediaMenu.
But I hope to see it implemented and improved further officially.
Here is a small GIF of what I achieved, for clarification purposes, and hope that it will be considered officially. Truly useful for keyboard users.
