Improve search

I have 2 small issues with the way searching "my music" is done now.

First: I think many would be interested in not only searching current view, but searching your entire library. I know many of my friends are used to iTunes where they can search and find anything in a breeze.

Second: Instead of having to navigate the search UI with arrow keys on my remote, I would love a "mobile phone texting" sort of search.

For instance, wanting to search for bon jovi I could:
Tab button 2 twice for: b
Tab button 6 three times for: o
etc.

See below for numeric search idea:
