We have some options for how to best implement the text filter, given that we want it to filter the collections as the user types, rather than requiring them to click a search/filter button.
One option to explore is Django Autocomplete Light.

Honestly so much of the new My Library depends on JS at this point that I think you can implement this as a full-JS solution.
We haven't had any recent complaints from folks about JS.
After some research, the best path forward to implementing live search would be to use Javascript. I found some libraries like InstantSearch.js or FuseJS that might help us, but it might be better to create an in-house solution. Let's discuss this tomorrow!
Thinking this through a little bit more, I think FuseJS is the best option for our needs, but we can discuss this more in-depth tomorrow or on our engineering meeting.
PR merged! I am leaving this in the Review column for the other PR, unless you want to create a separate ticket for it
