I just discovered a really useful search method

that works on Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you subscribe to these streaming services then you already know their search engines could be better.

On a whim, I just entered "new" as the search word, expecting to see movie titles with that word, and they were. But there were also categories like "new movies this week", "new movies in 2020", and "new TV shows".

This will make it a lot easier to find all the new shows, conveniently in one place. Now I'm wondering if every one else already knew about this search feature and I'm the slow learner? Well, no matter, I'm happy with my discovery.

Is streaming. (Discovered this via another thread.) It’s not perfect for creating a watchlist and it doesn’t find films or shows you can rent or purchase, but it’s excellent for metasearching all streaming services.

I miss Instant Watcher, because each title was much smaller and didn't take as much bandwidth..but Instant Watcher hasn't been updated since May
