Search
One query across titles, metadata, cast, film dialogue and the text of books — and the result takes you to the moment, not just the item.
What one search box covers
| Matches in… | What you get |
|---|---|
| Titles & metadata | Songs, albums, artists, films, series, episodes, books |
| Cast & credits | Everything a person appears in |
| Film & TV dialogue | A hit jumps playback to the moment the line is spoken |
| The text of books | A hit opens the book at that page — including scanned books, whose text is made searchable by OCR |
Where the deep search comes from
- Dialogue — caption tracks, extracted from the files or fetched from OpenSubtitles (see Metadata & integrations). No captions, no dialogue search for that title.
- Books — EPUB and PDF text directly; scanned pages via OCR, which also makes them selectable in the reader.
Search respects the profile
A kids profile's rating cap filters search results the same as browsing — a title the profile can't see doesn't appear, and a direct link to it won't play either.
Offline
The catalogue mirrors to your device, so search works with no network at all — results that are downloaded play immediately; the rest wait for a connection. See Offline & downloads.
