Where is Apple TV Plus search bar?

I am trying to use my Apple TV + subscription, but cannot find particular programmes I want to watch because it only presents a small selection of programmes in "themes", and there is no search bar. I do not have an iPhone or iPad, so I'm accessing AppleTV via its web client. There was a similar message about this here in July 2020, so fairly unbelievable that such a basic function is missing nine months later.


Am I missing something. Given I'm paying for this service, surely they would not deliberately withhold basic functions to non-iPhone users?

Windows, Windows 10

Really? That would only be applicable if all the content was available via the main menu. But it isn't.


Plus, the app on the LG WebOS smart-tv has a search function, as does the app on Roku devices.


I wanted to watch a show, and ended up having to Google the name of the show appended with appletv. This generated a link which enabled the show to be watched. A very unsatisfactory method, indeed.

Please find out that each row of tiles on the main page can be scrolled horizontally to reveal more tiles for shows. Most rows have more than five items. Last time I checked they were all there. If not, please name that show.
