swindmiller 5 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Is there currently a way to search in the win8 app?
FrostByte 5255 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Bring the charms over on the right side and the search option should be at the top Edited April 23, 2014 by FrostByte
swindmiller 5 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks. I know where the Search charm is but that does not seem to search Media Browser...just windows 8. Does it work for you?
FrostByte 5255 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Ya, I input artist names or movie titles all the time and it works. Just tried it now too with no issue
swindmiller 5 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Ok that's really weird, mine does not want to search Media Browser. Here is a screenshot as an example: Are you on Win 8.1 update 1? Any ideas? Edited April 24, 2014 by swindmiller
FrostByte 5255 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I'm on 8.1 with all updates. I think it's only showing the first few matches it finds. It's not perfect because it does search ALL files and not just what's in mediabrowser , but it will search music and movies also. You would probably find Entrapment if you typed a few more characters. I typed Dracula (see attach below) and got the first 4 hits ( 2 songs, 2 movies), I had to type Dracula 2 before I saw the movie Dracula 2000 in the search. You can also hit the down arrow next to Everywhere to maybe limit the scope. Sorry, that's the only search I believe that is available now Edited April 24, 2014 by FrostByte
FrostByte 5255 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Also, might need to change your default app for opening files else it may kick you out to the desktop. I ended up changing it back though because I spend most of my time in desktop mode
7illusions 1249 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Search is not implemented in the app yet. It will be in a not to distant future though. 2

Thanks for chiming in The app works great as it is, this would just be a very welcome addition. Thanks for all the work so far! FrostByte, Do you have your media on that PC, maybe thats why its picking it up thru search?
FrostByte 5255 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 That's it. My media and app are on the same machine. Hopefully 7 can implement the internal search soon. Agree, nothing in the Windows app store compares to this one. Well worth the $$ paid for it 2
