Plex launched a universal search feature that lets people search for movies and TV shows across multiple streaming services.
Of note, a similar feature has been available for a long time onIn addition to universal search, Plex is also launching a discovery section in the app that will highlight new titles just released on streaming services.
Plex universal search: Results for Bridgerton show Netflix is the only place to watch the show. Image source:“The app dance, going from app to app to find something to watch, just doesn’t make any sense,” Plex’s senior product and design director Jason Williams said. “You’re going to open up Plex every day. It’s going to be your trusted source.”
The service will let you search for titles across every possible service, not just Netflix. Once you find your target, Plex will let you start streaming on that service, assuming you have an active subscription. Plex universal search will surface results on various platforms without requiring the user to link to those streaming services first. In other words, you won’t have to have an active Netflix subscription linked to your Plex account to see Netflix results for your queries. But you’ll obviously need an account to start streaming., as you can see above. Search forand you’ll see that you can play it on Netflix. Click the link, and you go straight to the show’s page.
However, the feature is in beta. You’ll have to enroll in the beta to access the search in mobile apps.Plex supports a variety of streaming apps in addition to Netflix: Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu, Paramount Plus, Pluto TV, Curiosity Stream, and Lifetime Movie Club. Even YouTube is supported, although YouTube TV titles won’t show up in Plex’s universal search.
