Does search only look at local media?

Weird one, maybe…?

I was searching for a show (Fridays) on IMDB. By golly is if isn’t available through Plex! So, I went to the Plex app on my LG TV and searched for the show. But, Search only displays results form my local media. So, I went back to IMDB and clicked on the Plex button for the show, which took me to https://www.plex.tv, which is different than the server URL, natch. From there, I could find the show and add it to my Watchlist, and now it shows up in the app’s Watchlist, and in my server GUI’s Watchlist, etc. So…

Is there a setting I’m missing to (also) search Plex content? Like, you know: Live TV or Movies and Shows…? I mean, I did find a roundabout way to do it, but I’d like to be able to do it from the app or the server.

Merci!

Many apps allow you to select and deselect the media sources that are to be searched.

Dude! You nailed it! I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that search settings icon before. Thanks so much!
