They claim it lets you search for films or TV shows and then gives you a list of all the available outlets. One of the nice features is it also searches your own media library. Results are presented in a normal plex layout and there's even a nice clip of theme music too.

You can choose from a list of streaming services to search from and as of today there are 63 on the list.

Tested it out by searching for Breaking Bad (couple of photos attached). The first thing you get is a choice of results from your search term then a dedicated screen for the chosen result.

When I clicked on the Netflix link it sent me to the correct place. The only downside is there is no automatic return to Plex on our Sony TV (running Google TV) so to get back to the Plex search I had to reload the Plex app. But it's a Beta feature so may improve.

Now all they need to do is include linear TV schedules in the search and they may have a winning formula.
Good find, thank you, Grim.
