Search
The Search tab lets you find any movie, TV show, or person in the TMDB catalogue — the same database your Seerr server uses.
How to search
Section titled “How to search”- Tap the Search tab in the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the search bar at the top of the screen and start typing
- Results appear automatically as you type — there is a 300ms debounce so the app does not fire a request on every keystroke
Filter chips
Section titled “Filter chips”Below the search bar, filter chips let you narrow results by type:
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Movies, TV shows, and people |
| Movies | Movies only |
| TV Shows | TV shows only |
| People | Cast, crew, and other people |
Tap a filter chip to apply it. The search results update immediately.
Result cards
Section titled “Result cards”- Movies and TV shows — show the poster image, title, year, and a status badge if the title has been requested or is in your library
- People — show a circular profile photo, name, and their known-for department (e.g. Acting, Directing)
Tap any movie or TV show result to open the detail screen where you can view more information and make a request.
Tap a person result to view their filmography (if supported by your server version).
Infinite scroll
Section titled “Infinite scroll”Search results load a page at a time. As you scroll toward the bottom of the results list, the next page loads automatically. There is no pagination button — just keep scrolling.
No results
Section titled “No results”If your search returns no results, a message will be shown indicating the search term found nothing. Try different keywords, check your spelling, or switch to a different filter (e.g. search All instead of Movies).
- Search by title, partial title, or actor name
- If you are looking for a specific movie in a franchise, include the year in your search
- Switching between filter chips does not clear your search query — the same term is searched against the new filter
