A new way to search on Netflix
A new way to search on Netflix is available to a small set of members as a limited beta experience on iPhones and iPads.
You can search for TV shows and movies using your own words, similar to how you’d ask a friend for a recommendation. You can then tailor and refine recommendations in the moment based on your mood and tastes.
To use this new search, you’ll first need to opt in to the beta experience.
To opt in:
Open the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad.
From the Home screen, tap the Search icon
or scroll to the row titled Try a new way to search, then tap Learn More. Click Try Now.
To search:
From the Home screen, tap the Search icon
. Select from the existing prompts or enter a new search phrase.
Example: "Something funny and upbeat"
Scroll through the list of results, or refine your results by adding to your search query in the text box.
You can opt out of the beta at any time by selecting Switch to Standard Search from the top of the search page.
