How to use search?

[jianghangte111 0]

When I connect to the Emby server through apps like VidHub or Infuse, I can quickly search for the target movie. I want to achieve fast searching for target movies on the Emby server using EmbyCon + the Embuary skin. How can I do this? I noticed that searching with Embuary is very slow. Another plugin, Next-Gen, states: "For synced content, you can use Kodi's search function, and this should be the preferred method.

'EMBY DYNAMIC: Search' is for content lookup directly on the server."
How can I achieve fast searching on the Emby server using EmbyCon?

There is a search menu action in the EmbyCon addon node. You can map this to a button on the home screen of your skin.

What is the specific name of the EmbyCon addon node? I couldn't find it.

On a similar subject, what is the string for a search query? I'm adding the embycon search nodes into the Arctic fuse 2 search, and from what I can tell I need to edit the full string to get it to work correctly.

For example, for movies it starts with

plugin://plugin.video.embycon/?mode=NEW_SEARCH&item_type=Movie

Would the string including the search term be something like this?

plugin://plugin.video.embycon/?mode=NEW_SEARCH&item_type=Movie&query=[search term goes here]

I tried it out and I can confirm that adding "&query=" does the trick
