Would a Plex employee mind clarifying whether it’s intentional that I’m receiving search results for stuff on services that I don’t have accounts connected to?
The search function is now unreliable/illegible, as it returns tons of results I can’t actually watch — I’d rather just save the stress/hassle and search directly from the other platform-native apps.
I’m hoping it’s an oversight, especially since we’ve had granular toggles on every other online feature to date.
EDIT: Nevermind, it appears intentional to receive search results regardless of your connected accounts: http://disq.us/p/2o801fm
Allowing the option to only return search results from account-relevant platforms would be a huge step in making this feature usable.
EDIT 2: A temporary workaround is to make a managed user for yourself and use that instead of your main profile, since these features currently only work for the main profile on the account.
The thread contains starter information on migrating/syncing watch history, if that is worth the effort for you.
