Searchable Audio Bin

The magnifying glass icon is indeed not a good ideal for search (it ought to be reserved for zoom). The history of this is that Apple used to have something called "Sherlock" about 10+ years ago which was their search engine in the Finder. And so a magnifying glass made sense because it is very closely associated with the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
It hasn't been called Sherlock for a looong time, so the magnifying glass should have been abandoned.

Yes, that's useful, but still becomes tedious when the list becomes long. Also, every time I bounce with "add to audio bin" selected, ALL the audio files expand to show their regions (including all aliases) in the Audio Bin window, which makes an impossibly long list. Then I have to option-click to close all these sublists, which takes a few seconds again each time. As some of my projects have thousands of regions, this becomes quite unwieldy.
A search function would just seem to be an oversight, as virtually any other list in any Apple software (including the Finder) is searchable.
