Searching for something
to watch
Searching for movies and programs across various streaming channels is one of the
unique features of your Roku TV. Within a single search operation, you can search by:
•
Movie name
•
TV program name
•
Actor or director name
•
Streaming channel name
•
Interactive game name
•
Popular quotes (in English), such as “May the Force be with you.”
•
Genre, including the special genres, “free” and “4K.”
Note
:
Roku Search is only available if your TV is operating in connected mode and
linked to a Roku account. Roku Search doesn’t search across all streaming
channels, but searches across lots of popular streaming channels. The actual
channels it searches vary by locale.
How do I search?
You can search in several different ways:
•
By using an on-screen keyboard that you navigate using the purple directional
pad on your remote
•
By typing on the Roku mobile app on your phone or tablet
•
By speaking search phrases in English or Spanish using a Roku Voice remote,
the Roku mobile app, Alexa, or Google Home Assistant.
