For the user search feature, I created this search box, I assume the same search box can be repurposed for a song search feature, Does this approach seem suitable?

@Bentroen To implement a search feature for users and songs is harder than I imagined.

I have a few worries about How efficient searching by keyword, name, title, author, and description by section or substring can be. And, how could we avoid full reads in case some user requests?

I guess this is the approach to be taken with MongoDB, it already take care of all of this like fuzzy search and indexing is bazeds on words and not full strings.

Thanks for working on these features!

Yes, we can have a single search feature that can return results for both users and channels - selectable with a tab widget, similar to what YouTube does.
For simplicity, and since song search would be more useful than searching for users at first, we could implement search only for songs, and leave user search for a later stage.
(It seems like searching for channel is not very common compared to video search, so even YT relegated this option to a separate popup):

Since user profiles are such a simple feature compared to search, I believe this PR can be reduced in scope to just user profiles, since they don't rely on search being ready to be merged into production. We can leverage the existing search infrastructure implemented here in a subsequent PR.
