Android TV owners will know the pain of searching for content on their devices, both embedded TVs and set top boxes, but from today it gets a little bit easier with universal search for Netflix now included in Android TV search results.
The concept is pretty simple, perform a search on Android TV from the search box and you should, if it’s available on Netflix, then get a card with ‘Available on Netflix’ showing. If you have Netflix, then it should be as simple as selecting your show or movie and starting to watch.

The feature doesn’t seem to be live as yet though, with no system updates or Netflix app updates available on my Nexus Player or Bravia Android TV. It’s possible the new function is rolling out slowly, so perhaps keep checking back.
