Can you search on a shared iTunes playlist ?

Question

I am trying to search a shared iTunes playlist and get an error on a shared playlist for a search that works fine on the local library. Can you tell me how to get this to work ?
property away_CPU : "iBook Music" -- This is the source name of the shared iTunes playlist we wish to investigate from another machine
So get the CD name
try
set dialogAnswer to display dialog ¬
"Please type the name of the album" buttons {"Find it", "Cancel"} ¬
default button "Find it" default answer ""
if (button returned of dialogAnswer is "Find it") and (text returned of dialogAnswer is not "") then
set disk_name to text returned of dialogAnswer
tell application "iTunes"
set track_list to search playlist "Library" for disk_name only albums
log "Local (" & (count of track_list) & ") -" & track_list
set tracklist2 to search playlist "Library" of source away_CPU for disk_name only albums
log "Remote (" & (count of tracklist2) & ") -" & tracklist2
end tell
end if
on error number -128 -- userCanceledErr
end try
You will need to set the property to the name of you shared playlist.
I get the error:
iTunes got an error: playlist "Library" of source "iBook Music" doesn't understand the search message.

Thank you HD,
You are essentially right. I guess it's a case of seeing what i expected to see and not what was really there. So thanks for making that clear.
I tried what you said. I ran your script and i saw that under "iBook Music" the library is also called "iBook Music"; not "iBook Music's Library" as you suggested.
Thus by replacing the string "Library" with another occurrence of the away_CPU variable in the second search it now works.
Thanks very much
