Default Anybody know of a PMP/DAP with Search Function

Is there a list of PMP/DAPs that have a search (even just a title/artist) function? Does anybody know of any? I've looked through manuals for a bunch of players. Either I'm blind or none have a search function.

Before I started my search I thought this would have been a fairly common function. One of the reasons I like using Amarok, or any other half decent software based music player, is that I can just search for a song when I can only remember a word in the title. I can even search when I'm too lazy to work through the artist/song list tree.

Does anybody know of a good DAP/PMP with a search function?

The Sony A7XX/8XX series have an initial search function, but it's limited to only the first letter of song titles. This is probably of no use to you, I think. You're thinking of something like Winamp's jump function, where you type in a word/letter and everything with that in their tags is going to pop up, right?

I'm not even looking for something flexible enough to search through the entire ID3 tag. If I could search for "walk" when I'm looking for the song title "Walking down the road" that would be enough.

Only the IPOD and Zen? I would have thought this would have been a must have feature.
