Find movies and TV shows in one app: what global search really covers

Published October 22, 2026

You remember a word from the title. You should not need to remember which app to open first.

One app, one search term

Start with a distinctive word from a film or series title. Inspect the matching results in your selected app’s connected library, then check the title, season or episode before playing. A broad word can produce many results; a more specific term narrows the choice.

BigPlay describes support for customer-supplied playlists, guide information and movie/series browsing on supported screens. It does not supply the content. Read BigPlay’s description.

TiviMate also supports customer-supplied playlists, guide browsing and search. Its Premium upgrade unlocks app features; the player itself supplies no channels, streams or media. Read TiviMate’s official description.

What global search means with StreamSolved

On a streaming box, search within TiviMate by typing a word or using voice entry through a compatible remote and on-screen keyboard. On mobile, type or dictate your search within BigPlay or UHF using the device’s supported keyboard and microphone. Search the connected playlist for a game, team, channel, show or movie; available results depend on the app’s search screen, channel names, programme guide and VOD library.

Voice entry availability depends on the device, app, keyboard and microphone permissions. In BigPlay, use the search inside Live TV for channels and programmes; Home search covers movies and shows.

What ‘global’ does not mean

This is not a search inside every separate Netflix, Disney+ or other subscription account. Search cannot guarantee a title is available. Voice entry and result layout depend on the app and device.

Use your own demonstration

1. Choose a show or film that actually matters to you.
2. Search a distinctive word and inspect the matching results.
3. Check playback, audio and subtitles on your connection.
4. Confirm the experience before deciding what to keep or cancel.

A mobile trial makes this easy to assess. A suitable TV device can bring it to the bigger screen, while mapped TiviMate guides add discovery when you do not have a title in mind.
