The Problem with TV Search
Every Android TV owner knows the pain. You want to search for a movie, so you open the search bar and face a grid of letters. You click right, right, right, down, select… one letter at a time. A simple search can take 30 seconds or more.
How TVGO Keyboard Search Works
TVGO replaces that painful process with your phone's full keyboard. When a search field is active on your TV, tap the keyboard icon in TVGO. Type your query at normal speed and the text appears on your TV screen instantly.
It works everywhere — the Google TV home search, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Spotify, and any other app that uses Android's standard text input.
Tips for Faster Searching
Use Voice-to-Text
Don't feel like typing? Tap the microphone icon on your phone's keyboard and speak your search. TVGO sends the transcribed text straight to your TV. It's perfect for long movie titles or actor names you're not sure how to spell.
Search from Any App
TVGO's keyboard works in every text field on your TV, not just search bars. Use it to enter Wi-Fi passwords, sign into streaming accounts, or type in redemption codes.
Combine with Quick Launch
For the fastest workflow, use Quick Launch to open an app, then immediately switch to keyboard search. Two taps and a few keystrokes gets you to any content on any app.
Why It Matters
Small time savings add up. If you search for content three times a day and save 20 seconds each time, that's over six hours saved in a year. More importantly, it removes a friction point that makes TV feel clunky.
TVGO makes your TV feel as responsive as your phone. Try the keyboard search once and you'll never go back to the old way.
