Pluto TV is one of the best free places to stream thousands of on-demand movies, and blockbusters, without paying a subscription fee. However, the service is not available globally; so, if you need to watch a movie on Pluto TV, you must live within the select regions where the service is available.

But then, you could always use a VPN or Proxy app to bypass the Geo-restrictions and stream what you want. However, if you’re an old Pluto TV subscriber, you must have discovered that the service does not allow you to search for movies; you're left with no option but to keep scrolling until you movie you want to stream.

Well, at the moment, Pluto TV now allows site-wide search, which means you can now search movies and shows. This article explains everything you should know about Pluto TV search feature/function.

Pluto TV Streaming

Pluto TV looks all good and exciting to everyone because you can get the app installed on any of your devices, from mobile devices to streaming devices, PCs, TVs, and gaming consoles. The service was launched in 2013 by Nick Grouf; it is an ad-supported streaming service with a massive library of free content. Pluto TV is currently owned and operated by ViacomCBS Streaming, a division of ViacomCBS.

Interestingly, there's no premium (PRO) subscription plan offered by Pluto TV; you sign up for free, and the service remains free for you, forever. Ensure to use a valid email when signing up for Pluto TV as you'd need to verify it. Concerned about how the service generates revenues? Pluto TV generates revenue via adverts served while you stream.

To stream on Pluto TV, you must be living in the United States, or in select regions in Europe, Latin America, and Brazil. If you live outside these countries, you’d need a VPN to gain access to streaming on Pluto TV for free.

How to Search on Pluto TV (the Old Ways)?

When Pluto TV first launched, it had no "Search" feature available on the web version, and also on the app version. This makes it difficult to look up movies; you have to keep scrolling through the enormous library of on-demand titles to stream what you want. Hereunder were some old tricks on how people search for their favorite shows on Pluto TV.

1. Search by Service

Pluto TV offers Live TV shows and On-Demand titles; you can easily switch between these two services. So, if you're coming to watch a TV show, stay on the Live TV section and scroll, but if you're looking for on-demand titles, navigate to the On Demand section and scroll.

2. Add Shows to Your Watchlist

If you come across an interesting show or movie on Pluto TV, add it to your Watchlist, so when next you want to stream the show/movie, you can quickly locate it - from your watchlist.

3. Search Using Genres and Categories

The on-demand titles on Pluto TV are arranged into categories and genres: comedy, reality TV, trending, sitcoms, action, and others. If you could recall the category of the movie you want to watch, simply get to the category and search from there.

4. Search on Google

Here’s the trick here - get on Google search and find the movie. For example, if you want to stream “The Equalizer” on Pluto TV, but can’t find it, go on Google and search for the Equalizer on Pluto TV. This way, Google would show you the exact movie link, so you just click on it and start streaming.

How to Search on Pluto TV (the New Way)?

After several complaints by the users, Pluto TV finally, in April 2021, introduced a "Search" only on its web version. A search bar is not visible beside the "On Demand" link on the top menu - on the web version.

To use this search feature, simply tap/click on the bar and enter the name of the movie or show you want to search for. You can quickly access the search feature by opening https://pluto.tv/search on a web browser, then enter the movie name to search.

At the moment, the search bar is only available on the web version. So, if you’re streaming with the app on your TV, mobile device, or streaming device, you would still need to follow the old tricks explained above.

Well, soon, the feature would roll out to the app versions. Also, the search feature hasn’t been perfected as it does not integrate search filters for more accurate, streamlined results.
