Siri search on Apple TV no longer searches other apps Apple TV used to show what other apps movies and television shows were available on when you did a search. Now, when I search for a movie I know is on another app, the search for only return a link to buy or rent the movie from iTunes. Today is December 2, 2021, and if I search for Jungle Cruise using Siri, the only choices available on the search results are to rent or buy the movie from iTunes, even though I subscribe to Disney+ and it is available for free there. I have seen this question asked before on this site, but the Apple representatives who answered the question seem to willfully ignore the answer and try to blame software updates or needing to reset hardware. I have done both of those things and it still does not work. This was one of my favorite features on my Apple TV, as it saved me money when I wanted to watch a movie and I did not know which service it was streaming on for free from the five or six I subscribe to. Is there a setting somewhere to turn this back on or did Apple just remove the feature?

Apple TV siri will not search by actor. Why? According to this Apple Support article HT205300 Siri should search through all the streaming tv apps you have installed [Netflix, HBOMax, Hulu, Amazon ] say for films with a specific actor. But my Siri experience shows me that it can not do this. This is especially frustrating when I am in Apple iTunes Movies and want to search. In fact Siri wil not take any vocal requests in Apple iTunes movies from me. It does not work like this: search YouTube for snow video. Which will bring up snow videos on YouTube. Anbother example is when it will search for movies and only show you several at the bottom of the screen. It does NOT open up the app further to display what you would get if you manually entered your search terms. This really defeats the main purpose of Siri as something you can use to search with. Any suggestions? I certainly hope that siri works better in Apple TV+.

Siri will allow you to open Netflix but not to play a specific show on an iPhone.
