Code has now been added to allow the search function to work in channels.
Please use this thread to report any bugs. This only works for video channels. Before reporting that search does not work for a channel please test the search function of that channel in a different client to make sure it’s not the channel plug-in that’s broken.
Heres a list of tested channels:-
BBC iPlayer - working
Bringthepopcorn - working
Movie2k - working
Ssplex - working
VideoJug - working
Yify - working
GameTrailers - non working, doesn’t work in web client or iOS client.
IGN - non working, doesn’t work in web client or iOS client.
Nice, I have been waiting for this. Unfortunately, I do not have my TVs handy for another week as I am between one home and another. Will check once things are set up again.
Bringthepopcorn is broke
Ssplex is broke
They work on ios plex client.
Ok, I’ll take a look at them. The problem is that there is no one way a plugin handles searching, so it’s a case of fixing them on a plug-in by plug-in basis 
Where can I get those two plugins?
Both in Unsupported AppStore. It is stickied at the top of the Plex Channels forum.
Github, search for reallyfuzzy
The two in question now work now I can see a see a option window where I can enter the search criteria but nothing populates when I search. I assume you are still attempting to fix when you get a chance. No rush, thx for looking into it. I appreciate your help. 
Checked this with the Movie2k plugin. Search does not work. It acts as if the query argument is not being passed to the search function. Also, it does not get to an input screen for search either just displays the generic error No Response from Plex Media Server when search is selected.
Error from Movie2k log:
TypeError: Search() takes exactly 1 arguments (0 given)
Code Snippet:
@route(PREFIX + '/Search')
def Search(query):
Call reference:
oc.add(InputDirectoryObject(key=Callback(Search), title=SEARCH_TITLE, summary=SEARCH_SUMMARY, prompt="Search for", thumb=SEARCH_THUMB))
This is coded similar to what sanders did it with his search function in BBC iPlayer.
The search function does work on the Roku, Plex Web and others.
Movie2k search doesn’t work on iOS plex client devices see OP.
Never mind yes it does. He must if fixed it partially recently. Before it didn’t.
Ok, both Bringthepopcorn and SSplex should work now, please test.
Bingo! Works perfect on both channels, thank you! 
Just noticed another one “let me watch this”… There is multiples when you click into say movies it has a search feature. Tv shows also… No rush when you are free.
Search function on all my channels let me watch this, Ice films etc etc has never worked for me atv 3

That would be a channel issue I think. Not plexconnect.
- Might be a PlexConnect issue but it’s not a search issue. It works on iOS client.
Yify does not work (works in Plex/Web)
Yifi works on iOS client. That would be a plex/web issue .
I mean, Yify does not searches in the ATV
Ya I asked pip to add it back in already. It works with plexweb just tested it. Until he does @roidy can’t fix it. If it’s broke.

I think pip has a github maybe we can use a old commit so @roidy can fix it.
