search plugin

[chris_lb]

Hi all,

on my kodi installation on my mac I really appreciate the ability to use the "global search" add on to search for a movie, music or series title.

I would appreciate a similar way to find content in the MrMc Kodi version. Of course an integration with ATVs universal search would be the ultimate solution. But in my opinion just a search function to find kodi content would be a big step forward.
Is there any chance to add the global search add on or to provide content search in a simila way?

Thanks and regards
Chris

I take it this has been forgotten about? I too would like to see this, it would be even better if voice search from nvidia shields remote (Google assistant) could scrape the app like it does with other apps such as plex, emby and kodi.

Bump! Any progress or potential for this?

I installed MrMC (its excellent!) on my ATV4K and showed family members at Christmas. The first thing each of them asked was "How do I do a search?"

Just a file title search (of my media sources) would probably be enough for me - bonus points if:
- it gave predictive suggestions as you type (as per Google etc)
- it had a drop down menu of key filters e.g. Music/TV/Movie

I think the user experience would be greatly increased if something like this could be done.

Thanks very much for consideration
