The only way I know to search Plex media is to type/paste a string in the Search field. I want a way to launch a search of my Plex media using parameters in a URL.
For example you can search IMDB like this: https://www.imdb.com/find?q=Animal+House+(1978)
Is there a way to add similar parameters to a Plex URL (http://192.168.93.200:32400/web/index.html#) to start a search?
Thanks! - Robert
You mean like this?
http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/index.html#!/search?query=animal%20house
Yes just like that. Unfortunately it isn’t working for me. I’ve changed it like this to point to my server:
http://192.168.93.200:32400/web/index.html#!/search?query=animal%20house
And I get " You must be lost. This page doesn’t exist.".
Any idea why it isn’t working for me?
Thanks for your help! - Robert
maybe should be
http://192.168.93.200:32400/search?query=animal%20house
?
can’t check, not currently local
Not sure what’s going on. To double check, run the search using the search box then grab the URL shown by the browser.
Are you running this from a browser while logged into your Plex account or from a standalone program?
That did it! Thanks so much TeknoJunky! I really appreciate it.

Reasonable question ‘flow’. I live in a rural area with a terrible Internet connection (thanks CenturyLink) so I tend to default to local addresses. No reason to bounce around the world to get to the next room. But your point is taken.
Interesting, but when i disable internet after establishing the web interface, i get a message indicating i need internet connectivity while on the server computer.
Off topic but Plex Web still needs internet for certain things. If you want to run off the grid, the only way is to sign out of your server and from Plex Web.
