YouTube Music on the web adapts Play Music's inline search results

YouTube Music is taking inspiration from Google Play Music once again. This time, it's making it easier to look for the songs you want to listen to. It now shows you three autocomplete matches below the search bar along with standard suggestions. It also nows the type of media as well as the album, artist, and subscriber count in some cases.
