Describe the feature you'd like

I would love to see the search function on every windows. Not just on the overview page. Like on the web app.

It's frustrating when I go into movies and can't search after I get there

Assuming we don't care about limiting the search to the current category, this should be a simple copy/paste into the relevant file, right?

Anyone can contribute and if you believe it's just copy and paste. Give it a go. My thoughts are on does the android TV handle the on screen keyboard used to type in the search box or does Jellyfin use a custom on screen keyboard? What calls the keyboard to even show up in order to type. And what exits the keyboard when you hit search? The web search bar is probably slightly easier only needing to detect inputs vs an entire on screen keyboard window needing to pop up and exit properly while returning what results? Title only, Title + Metadata, or what? Cause if it's just Title only then I wish you good luck finding that show you can't remember the exact episode name for. And then do we want only the results for what was searched or do we want to work a little bit like netflix and have "more like this" show up after the top relevant results, so as to provide lots of options per search. Should there be search by categories? If I typed in Drama would all my dramatic movies/shows show up or only movies that have the word drama in it's Title or description?
