    My earlier similar question may help you.

    I believe the OP was asking about a search button inside of the Direct Publisher Channel.  It's automatically added in Direct Publisher for the external Roku search.  I too am looking for an internal Search within my own Roku Channel.  
    Thanks

      has there been a solution to this? No matter what I type in the search, nothing comes up. Are there some sort of secret lines of code we need to add to each item???

        As referenced in the previous post I linked, the Search icon is only available if your feed file is XML based.  I have two channels I test with.  One uses an XML feed and it does show a Search button that works correctly.  And, one that is built from Json that does not show a Search button.

        Seems like Roku should be supporting both feed types, but, apparently DP doesn't.
