Search looks through channels, films and series at the same time and groups the results by what they are. Start typing and the list narrows as you go.
Search is the quickest route to something you know the name of, and it does not care which category your provider filed it under.
If a title you expect does not appear, pull down to refresh on the Movies or Series list first. Providers add and remove titles constantly, and the app may be showing you a list from earlier in the day.
