I'm pretty sure I don't. If you could push it for me that would be great, thanks. :)

The use case for this is particularly when "Show only matches" is checked: type in the first few letters of the track you're interested in, use arrow keys to select from a much smaller list, then press enter to play it and go back to a full playlist.

IMHO it would be better to make this "temporary search-based playlist" behaviour explicit either by clicking focus to the playlist or by pressing TAB (this last part is something else I would like to add).
