Hi,
by chance in a forum post I saw that there is Search results for - Trakt which is exactly was I was looking for, where you can search and filter through everything (not only the most popular etc. stuff).
I never found that search section on the website or in the app, is this by purpose hidden (to save server load etc.)?
Greetings
In the website you get there with an empty search.
The search is at the top left on the website, in the app itâs on the top right. If you donât see it on the website, just check you donât have an add-on blocking it.
Thatâs not the question though.
Have you found a way to filter through the whole database? Without inputting a search string.
Yes Iâve just tried. I clicked search and clicked enter and it showed a list of movies. Remember to make sure âshowsâ or âmoviesâ are selected on the right side of the search box.
Doesnt work like on the website. You cant search for content without inputting anything and that way filtering the whole database.
Like all content available on Netflix.
Unless it works differently in the android app.
And you mentioned the search on the app specifically too. My answer was already about the website with an empty string.
I didnât mention the app because, as far as I know, that function is unavailable in app.
On the website I clicked on the search box and made sure âmovies/seriesâ was selected
I pressed enter and all the movies and series showed up. If you want something specific, you need to search for it.
In the android app when you click on search you need to input something.
If this doesnât answer your question, what specifically are you trying to do. If I know what you doing I can better help?
I donât have a question. The OP had a question. They wanted a page to filter the whole database on the website and app.
Thatâs possible on the web per my answer. But not on the app too like you claimed.
OP is not looking for the search box. At least thats not what they were asking.
Anyway letâs just leave this back and forth since OP already has their answer. Possible via web with an empty search and not possible in-app.
Oh I misread who posted the response, I thought OP was posting again. Oops.
If I donât know what to watch or I want to explore new movies/tv shows, then I want to just filter through everything without entering a search word. For example: show me every movie available on my favorite streaming services, which has genre documentary and is no longer than 90 min. I donât want to enter a search term in this case.
I didnât know that you get this when you enter an empty search, so thanks for that. But on the mobile app unfortunately it doesnât seem to work as stated by @lifeiscrazy. Does anybody know if there is a specific reason why this is the case?
Maybe @Ohifriend can shed some light on the matter. Was it just never thought of, or intended that you canât just filter without searching?
Yeah the ability to search with an empty string wasnât always available (at least not when mobile was being designed etc) so itâs not really set up to support it. Hopefully in the future we can adjust search in the mobile apps to support this. For now the best way would be to use and filter popular items (either movie or shows) which should include most things
