Title:
  Type-ahead in Artist List does not work in Banshee 1.9.5

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Confirmed
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  Maybe this sounds like a minor Issue, but it is a big leap backwards
  instead of Rhythmbox for me and Banshee should replace Rhythmbox in
  the near future.

  Neigther the Artist list, nor the Album View supports type-ahead.
  It is very comfortable in Rhythmbox to type "kru" in the Artist list and it jumps to "Kruder & Dorfmeister", in many cases this is much faster then using the Search Feature.

  As i know the type-ahead feature is built into the GTK+ list widget.
  IMHO it should be very easy to implement this feature in the Artist
  List.

  I tested the current Development Snapshot from the "Banshee Team PPA"
