The Best Streaming Search Engines

With the proliferation of streaming services, it can be tough to keep track of all available content. Fortunately, there are apps and websites that can do the hard work for you.

JustWatch is one such site. It lets you search for shows on many different services and filter them by your subscribed services, release year, genre, and rating.

JustWatch

JustWatch is a free-to-use service that connects with popular streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It examines each one’s content libraries to see where a movie or TV show is available. When it finds a match, it displays the results on a single page.

Users can easily browse the massive lists of shows and movies, which JustWatch can filter by genres, production countries and rating count. It even tells them if a show is currently available to stream for free, rent or buy.

JustWatch is available as a website, an app for iOS and Android, and as a widget for most major TVs and mobile devices. It also offers a paid version that lets people sync their watchlists and preferences across multiple devices. The app uses cookies and other technologies for purposes including personalization, functionality, analytics, optimization and advertising.

Reelgood

The Reelgood website and apps launched last winter, seeking out shows and movies from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and HBO (HBO GO and HBO NOW). The app also tracks free, ad-supported TV sources like Crackle, Fox and ABC. It’s currently tracking 28 services, and founder Sanderson says the company will listen to feedback on which ones to add next.

Reelgood’s real-time streaming search engine data is a key part of its business model. It powers universal search tools for Roku, Dell and Microsoft, and studios including Lionsgate and CBS pay to access its information. Even hedge funds are poking around, Sanderson said.

As Reelgood’s user base grows, it is getting better at finding the best titles to recommend. The app scours all the available sources, then ranks titles based on things like genre, IMDB and Reelgood ratings. Users can filter titles by the streaming service they have available, and they can track shows they’ve watched so that Reelgood can make smarter recommendations.

Google

Google is one of the most famous technology companies in the world. Its search engine is used by over 70 percent of Internet users, making it one of the most important tools in the digital age. It also offers a variety of other products and services, including mobile apps, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing and more.

The company was founded in 1995 at Stanford University by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They began using discounted computer parts to build a search engine for the web, which they called Backrub. Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim saw the prototype and wrote a check for $100,000 to fund the project.

The company has a reputation for being a fun place to work, with many perks and opportunities for employees to get creative. For example, they have “decompression capsules” on hand to help employees catch a few zzz’s in the middle of the busiest hours of the day.

On TV Tonight

TV guides, also called television listings or program guides, are a type of timetable that lists current and upcoming broadcasts. They can help subscribers plan their day and find their favorite shows and movies. They usually contain a list of popular genres such as documentaries, reality shows, news programs and cartoons. They can be found online, in print and on mobile devices. On TV Tonight is an online television guide that allows users to bookmark their local schedules. It was launched in 2014 by eBroadcast and is available in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, France and Australia. It also provides video streaming listings.
