Searching for something
to watch
Searching for movies and programs across streaming channels and live TV 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
• Music or podcast title or artist on Spotify
• 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. Participating channels
show results without leaving the channel you are viewing. Results from the
active channel appear in the first row, followed by results from other channels.
