Here you go…

> Adding Description and Tagline here would sure help grouping similar collection items together. [image|267x483](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/6wcMVrv9m3ppnFYBZ55XWAMqjWT.png) For example: Group all christmas movies together in one christmas collection. Description contains: “christmas” or Tagline contains “christmas” and voila.

**Edit:**  
There’s also one to include metadata like descriptions for search, both requests have however not gained much attention / support (votes)

It would be cool if search allowed be to look for an Actor, Genre, or Keywords within the Meta Data that the agents are collecting. &nbsp;Love what you are doing keep it up.
