Search SV(M): Find movies, TV shows and talent

Open the main menu and choose  Search to find titles and talent in the SV(M) database. 






Back to User Guide 


Search by name, title or keyword

SV(M) Search opens on pre-populated lists of suggested TITLES (left column) and TALENT (right column). 

Start typing in the search bar at top right to see keyword matches in both categories.


Results will appear in both columns sorted by keyword match similarity.


If desired, you may use the filter buttons at top left to narrow results to Movies, TV Shows or Talent only. Otherwise, results will appear based on similarity to your query regardless of category.



Click any title in the left column to visit a Title Dashboard. Click any name in the right column to visit a Talent Dashboard








SV(M) Search FAQs

What are initial suggestions based on?
Why isn’t my search delivering the results I expect?

Your query may not be close enough to a match; check spellings and title wording. 

Some titles may not be in our database yet. SV(M) does not track all library titles. Titles that are not current or not streaming originals may not appear in search results.



Can I search by genre or production company?

Not at this time.



Can I search for directors, writers and other non-acting talent?

Not at this time. We only generate Talent Dashboards for talent with acting credits in our database. 



Can I search for TV seasons or episodes?

Not at this time. TV show searches only return full series, not seasons or episodes. 



How do I find a specific season of a TV show?

Search by show title, then go to the combined TV Series Dashboard to select a season.
