Add Universal Search ("Channel Store")

Open sguinetti opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When using multiple EPGs and playlists, the need for a universal search engine is necessary to browse if a channel or program is available without having to do it manually. One can even check if it is in favorites and thus have more control of the content that is in the app.

Describe the solution you'd like Implement Universal Search. In this, users can consult the history of keywords performed, suggested channels (an alternative to #54). While searching, it will show which channels match the keyword in different playlists and program guides.

Describe alternatives you've considered In this section the user can create a kind of "channel store" to search for the channels you are interested in. This can be combined with the simple search engine. This is accessed from the search button under "For you". The user can add as many options as possible, which facilitates the user the content that the playlist can offer. It is a great potential that enhances the user experience.

For inspiration there is the "smart search" in the latest version of Kotatsu.
