cyberskier, post:132, topic:39684 One thought I had while using it today was whether it would make sense (or if it is even possible) to have the search results show what services the show/movie appears on.

Earlier, I said (buried in a much larger response):

babsonnexus, post:104, topic:39684 Would you want an "Available on..." when the search results show up, and it says what services are hosting it? If that's the case, it is possible, but will definitely be a lot of real estate! I'd have to consider that one carefully.

I did look more into doing this, and it is still very possible, but would be a pretty big PITA. I laid some groundwork into the code in case I did decide to pull the trigger. However, I'm also concerned about processing time. Right now, results are fairly instant. To make this happen, basically, for every title, I'd have to loop through and find all its offers and then send that to html, and the webpage has to render that in its own loop. Meanwhile, it is already in a loop of the search results themselves, so it would be a loop in a loop.

I might spend some time kicking it around, but no promises on this request!
