Open search

On phones and tablets

Tap the magnifying glass at the top of the home screen. In TV, Movies and Series, the search bar also filters the list on screen.

On TV, with the remote

Choose Search in the left menu, or press the microphone or search button on the remote: listening starts right away.

Type or speak

Type at least two letters in Search everything. Accents don’t matter: “cafe” finds “Café”.

To speak, tap the Voice search microphone to the left of the field. Zappia shows Listening…; what you say fills in Zappia’s search field, nothing else. On a TV, speak close to the remote’s microphone.

The results

Results are sorted into collapsible sections, each with its count:

SectionWhen you tap a result
On nowThe program details: watch live, from the beginning, record the rest
ChannelsThe channel opens full screen
MoviesThe movie details
SeriesThe series details
Coming upRecord

Programs that have already ended are never shown. Channels follow your profile’s country order; protected groups and hidden channels are left out.

Search on a phone: programs on now, channels, movies and series.
Results, sorted by section.

If voice search doesn’t respond

  • I didn’t catch that. Try again.: speak closer to the microphone, right after the beep.
  • No connection for voice recognition.: the device’s voice service needs the Internet.
  • Voice recognition is not responding.: check that the Google app (or the device’s voice service) is installed and up to date.
