If I use the search function either through the control panel or the Home Screen tile I only get results for music or podcasts.

Is anyone else experiencing this and/or know how to fix it?

    Yes, very annoying. If you open Apple TV app and search there it will search videos everywhere like the main search used to. Hopefully gets fixed soon, very annoyed to have to open a separate app to search when there’s a global search hanging out doing nothing

      Yeah that’s it. Do you know when it started happening for you. I recently subscribed to Apple Music so was wondering if that was the catalyst for the change in the way the search function worked.

        I’ve been subscribed to apple music for over a year. So I am subbed if that happens to matter to them, but not a recent change. I initially noticed it when updated one of my apple tvs to 17.2 developer beta, but now all of them exhibit the same behavior despite not being on the beta. So I’m guessing it’s an app update of some sort

    I just did a search and the same is true for me.

    I do NOT use Apple Music and have changed nothing in terms of configuration so this appears to be a glitch that arose “spontaneously” and not from any user action.

    I always found the Apple search to be a bit ineffective as it never picked up all the possibilities from my streamers anyway but this is really broken.

      Thanks for additional info. Helps clarify a few things. I think I’ll log it as an issue then on their feedback page.
