DJ LEE HD
I am kind of new with Virtual DJ but I am not impressed with the search engine. Yes maybe I need to take some more time which I don't have to craft up some setlists. But the other night I was working at a Tavern and I maybe played 4 songs from Virtual DJ and all the rest were off of my Google Play account. I don't have time in the middle of the sap to be fooling around with a search engine so I go on my Google music and get it instantly. Does anyone share my frustration? Or any advice?

Section 4 of the Google Play T&Cs states: "...your personal, non-commercial use only." That's the case with any of the popular streaming sites (i.e. Spotify etc) aimed at consumers.
They're not for DJ use.
There's nothing wrong with the search in VDJ. It's no different to any of the above services - type something in and get a result. If you don't get results then you need to look at your file tagging.

Sounds like the issue is with searching content unlimited?

Have you ever imported (added) your Tracks to the Search DB of VirtualDJ ?
If not, then see this... http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Add%20to%20Search%20DB%20VirtualDJ%208.html
If yes, then perhaps you need to tell VDJ to what fields it should look into and search for .Click on the small dot-button (Search Option) and make your selections
It also depends on how your tracks have been imported, or rather if you have set VDJ to fill Artist/Title etc fields from either Tags or filenames.
So probably you need to provide a few more details on what you have done so far, what have you tried and how is your music collection structured (ID3 Tags updated, filenames updated etc)

Even though I am a beginner to VDJ and DJ'ing in general, I am super organized with my playlists in iTunes and Spotify. I never need to do a search, just find the playlist and sort by BPM and key and I see exactly my choices. Somebody asks for an Argentine Tango Vals song on the slow end and I can get it with 15 seconds. I try to keep my Spotify lists put into playlists for genre and time period as well. All the more reason to have your own music, so you give it maximum organization in your database. I am probably unusual for a beginner to be so organized, but I started off as strictly a dancer needing music for 15 different dances, and having the appropriate music for practice.

Disregard my previous message as I see now all mentioned is considered for home use only

After doing what DJ Dad stated, have a look at the "My Library" add-on.
Also take a look at the Cloud Lists

Some LE versions disable the browser search function. That will probably be the issue.
