search function is broken
This is so annoying. I looked up Hereditary on my TV and it didnt pop up with anything. So I google it on my phone and it's literally on Netflix. Why did the break the search function? It just pops up with tangentially related movies.

Re: search function is broken
Yup. Nothing came up for Hereditary on the device Search.
Did show up when searching from the What's On section on Roku website though.

Re: search function is broken
Does anything ever show up as being available on Netflix? Something way in the back of my brain says Netflix doesn't include their content in Roku's search.

If you appreciate my answer, maybe give me a Kudo.

@renojim I did a search for Stranger Things as a test and it shows up in search for Netflix.

Re: search function is broken
Completely agree. Search results are polluted by similar results, created by some AI monstrosity. I did a search for "2001" on my Roku Ultra. It was the 6th or 7th result in the carousel, behind other movies. I did a dead-on search for "The War of the Gargantuas", had to scroll through about 20-25 results before there it was, the exact thing I was searching for. This makes the search function completely useless.

Search results are being polluted by similar results, likely created by some AI monstrosity. Did a search for "2001" on my Roku Ultra. The movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" was the 6th or 7th result in the carousel, behind similar scifi movies. Then I did a dead-on, exact-letter search for "The War of the Gargantuas", had to scroll through about 20-25 results before there it was, the exact thing I was searching for. This makes the search function completely useless.
