Searching

Search for tracks across different platforms and handle various search result types.

Basic Search

const member = interaction.member;
const result = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: 'Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up',
    member
});

console.log('Search results:');
console.log('Type:', result.type);
console.log('Tracks found:', result.tracks.length);

if (result.tracks.length > 0) {
    const track = result.tracks[0];
    console.log('First result:', track.title, 'by', track.author);
}

Platform-Specific Searches

const member = interaction.member;

const ytResult = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: 'Imagine Dragons Believer',
    defaultSearchPlatform: 'ytsearch',
    member
});

const spotifyResult = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: 'The Weeknd Blinding Lights',
    defaultSearchPlatform: 'spsearch',
    member
});

const scResult = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: 'Lofi Hip Hop',
    defaultSearchPlatform: 'scsearch',
    member
});

Search Result Types

Handling Different Result Types

const result = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: query,
    member: interaction.member
});

switch (result.type) {
    case 'TRACK':
        player.queue.add(result.tracks[0]);
        await interaction.reply(`🎵 Added **${result.tracks[0].title}** to queue`);
        break;
        
    case 'PLAYLIST':
        player.queue.add(...result.tracks);
        await interaction.reply(`📋 Added **${result.tracks.length}** tracks from playlist`);
        break;
        
    case 'SEARCH':
        if (result.tracks.length === 0) {
            await interaction.reply('❌ No tracks found!');
        } else {
            player.queue.add(result.tracks[0]);
            await interaction.reply(`🎵 Added **${result.tracks[0].title}** to queue`);
        }
        break;
        
    default:
        await interaction.reply('❌ No results found for your search.');
}

Advanced Search Options

Search with Limits

const result = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: 'epic music',
    member: interaction.member,
    searchLimit: 10
});

if (result.tracks.length > 1) {
    const options = result.tracks.slice(0, 5).map((track, index) => ({
        label: track.title.substring(0, 100),
        description: `By ${track.author}`.substring(0, 100),
        value: index.toString()
    }));
    
    const selectMenu = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
        .setCustomId('track_select')
        .setPlaceholder('Choose a track')
        .addOptions(options);
}

Direct URL Resolution

const urlResult = await client.aqua.resolve({
    query: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
    member: interaction.member
});

if (urlResult.type === 'TRACK') {
    player.queue.add(urlResult.tracks[0]);
    await interaction.reply(`🔗 Added track from URL: **${urlResult.tracks[0].title}**`);
} else if (urlResult.type === 'PLAYLIST') {
    player.queue.add(...urlResult.tracks);
    await interaction.reply(`🔗 Added **${urlResult.tracks.length}** tracks from playlist URL`);
}

Error Handling

Search Error Management

async function safeSearch(query, member, interaction) {
    try {
        const result = await client.aqua.resolve({
            query: query,
            member: member
        });
        
        if (!result || !result.tracks || result.tracks.length === 0) {
            return await interaction.reply('❌ No tracks found for your search.');
        }
        
        return result;
        
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Search error:', error);
        
        if (error.message.includes('timeout')) {
            return await interaction.reply('⏱️ Search timed out. Please try again.');
        }
        
        if (error.message.includes('unavailable')) {
            return await interaction.reply('❌ This track is not available in your region.');
        }
        
        return await interaction.reply('❌ An error occurred while searching. Please try again.');
