Yeah. It says that somebody's asked for the feature, and it's been slated for inclusion in the 1.0 release, which hasn't happened yet. Does that answer your question?

I suppose it does. I know this is a free program and the devlopers are working essentially as volunteers, I guess I'm just eager to see the remote app work to its full potential and thought I'd come on an request the function, didnt really expect a snotty response from a fellow leech.

If you guys want a search that works really well try installing TVersity and Bubble uPnP on your android. Searches your entire library instantly and far quicker than XBMC's internal search.

thanks man, Ill give it a try.

Hi there,

I am following these threads for a while now, because I am looking voor a good remote device for XBMC and my android phone/tablet. To lack of good searching is too bad. Bubble UPNP has a good solution indeed, but I am having a problem with it. It is connected with my XBMC on a PC and I can search the full library. When I want te play a song it keeps saying "Action time out" and after a half minute it starts the song. When I want to pause / stop / forward / etc. it works directly, but when I start the next song it has the same problem. Anyone has the same problem who uses Bubble as a remote? My local renderer is XBMC and also my library is the same. I hope someone has an answer to my problem.

Thanks in advance.

I must say, I was a little bit disappointed that this feature isn't in the remote, this was one of the major reasons I bougt an Android tablet to use as a remote, to make searching even faster.

Hi, I've started working on a search feature. So far I have instant search for albums/artists in music library, and movie title in movie library. What kind of features are you people wanting from a search functionality?

Great news! I want to be able to search by track name. For example, if I type 'Martha' I want to get the 3 versions of the song I have as well as any artists containing the name.

What would be great would be results like:
Martha:
3 songs found (*press for list)
1 artist found (*press for list)
1 movie found
0 tv shows
7 actors
Etc

Any update on this?
