Improve search functionality
-
I have to parts for searching.
One is the basic search function. As I see you have done some kind for “local search” But in my opinion it ist still “buggy”.
It should be possible just to search on followed podcasts. After some seconds the results are mixed with podcasts and episodes I do not follow. Apple podcast did have this (I know it some years ago) that you first search on your files. And just with a klick on “all podcasts” or something like that additional results have been shown.
The other thing is to search for new podcasts. Sometimes I cannot find them. I don’t know the reason. Maybe it needs some time that you have them in your database.
But what I like to be improved. My local region is not the US. But all in my suggestion list are US podcasts. Are I say english spoken podcasts. Many results on my search are “taken” by them. I know that there are more podcasts in my region. As I can add this in my profile. It would be great if you could take care on this.

Thank you for your feedback on search! I’ll be sure to forward this along to our development team to take into consideration as we refine the feature.
I will note, regarding regions, you can select a different region at the bottom of the Discover tab. That won’t impact the search results that you see, but you will see different podcasts featured in the Discover tab’s main screen

+1.A search only subscribed podcasts option would be great. But even just adding search within the downloads section a la what had been with listening
