    Default Netflix Search Feature in Boxee Box

    I saw the following FAQ in the Netflix FAQ but not sure what it means:

    "Why don't Netflix titles show up in the search results or as a choice in the Play pop-up window?
    This feature isn't available for Netflix items."


    Does this mean that the Netflix search is not available or the choice in the Play pop-up window is not available?

    It means you can only search for Netflix titles in the Netflix app.

    When you search for movies in the main Boxee UI or in the Movie section of Boxee, it's possible that one or more sources will show up for it; Netflix will never show up as a source via the Boxee search.

    Does that help?

    It used to back the early early alpha days on the desktop app. I waiting for the day it will come back.

    It worked in the early days of beta (about a year ago) but Netflix asked for it to be removed. (Not sure about alpha, I didn't use Boxee much then).

    Am I that odd for wanting Netflix selections kept separate? I only wish they kept Vudu selections separate so that I could actually browse/search for movies without every one coming up via Vudu.
