A Library update is required to get the tracks into MPD's database otherwise MPD won't know about them and they can't be searched, browsed, played etc.
You can used the "Saved searches" feature (on the Library dropdown menu) to create Library views but it may require the underlying folder structure to be setup in a certain way.
For example place tracks to be previewed in a folder separate from the folder containing your main collection.
/Preview
/Main Collection
Then use Quick search to filter on aeach folder and save the results as a "Saved search"
folder Preview
folder Main Collection
Finally use "Saved searches" on the Library dropdown menu to select and Activate a saved search.
Try it out and see if this approach works for your usage scenario.
