Chapter 3: Watching TV
Searching by Credits, Title, or Text
If you want to find all programs that star a certain actor, share a certain director,
have a particular character role, have won a particular award, or were created in a
certain year, you can search By Credits. To search for a program whose title you
know, search by title. Searching by text looks at both credits and titles to find all of
the programs that match your search terms.
