Describe
I've had Cog on my Mac for a while, but haven't used it much as I don't often listen to music from my laptop. Tonight I realized I had a bunch of music on an SD card and could throw it in and listen so I did so, put all the music in the playlist, and I'm 99% sure I used command-F to search for the specific track I was looking for (I certainly didn't scroll through the just-added three days worth of music). After listening for a while I was sad that I didn't have any functionality to sort my playlist and figured I should update in case there were new features. Ran "check for updates" which updated from 1127 to 1405 and now command-F doesn't do anything and I can't find any other text search find feature (there are menu items for 'search by artist' and 'search by album'; neither is what I want, especially if I'm looking for a specific song title!)

Expected behavior
Pressing command-F should bring up a text search menu to find all files/playlist entries with the given text.

Version information:*

macOS version: 10.15.7 (19H2)
Cog version: Version 1405 (1405-g1ddce2395)

Also don't know if it's relevant but I was disappointed that when restarting, Cog didn't bring up the file it was on when I closed it but started over at the beginning of the playlist (which is why I even found that command-f wasn't working....)

Edit: Okay, this complaint was a setting I hadn't enabled, and it's fine now.

Pressing command-F causes the Playlist entry on the bar at the top of the screen to flash, but doesn't seem to actually do anything else. (I do see the "Filter playlist" entry in that dropdown, with the icon indicating it's keybound to command-F, but it doesn't do anything when I click on it, either.)

Regarding the Find window, I tested on Big Sur, apparently the popping open action isn't working prior to that? In which case, it's a bug.

Not quite sure what you mean, but I'm still running Catalina, I haven't upgraded to Big Sur, if that is what you are saying. It did work before I ran the update on Cog, but doesn't work now.

I looked through the code a bit to see if I could theorize about the cause but I'm not sure where the toolbar code is so haven't come up with anything useful on that front.

Cmd+F is a menu shortcut, and the menu is in the main application template, MainMenu.xib.

You need to have the search bar visible in the toolbar, and the window needs to be large enough for it to be visible.
