Is it possible to search through a list of files within the VLC iOS app? I cannot find any method to do it.

Two examples:
1. Media Library / All Files -- I have several downloaded files, which are listed alphabetically. However, I would like to search the file for part of a file name.
2. Network / Local Network -- I connect to my Universal UPnP server, navigate to a folder and see my 200 movies in alphabetical order. However, I must scroll through the list to find the content I would like to see. I would prefer to have a "find" or "search" button to quickly search through the names listed.

Please let me know if there is search capability and I am missing it. If there is no capability, it would be great to have it added. Thanks!

Search is available only for local contents stored on iPhone and iPod touch at this point. It will come to network device listings on any device very soon

Thanks!
How do you currently search local content? If I use the iOS app and go to the Media Library / All Files, I can see the movies that I have downloaded but no way to search them.

Double-tap on the title bar to reveal a search field. Note that this won't work on iPad.

Perfect response! It is not intuitive to have to double click to find it; however, once I found this trick, worked well. I'm looking forward to see this implemented on the Network / Local Network area.
