I'm looking for a way to search for programs based on description and words in the title, and hopefully actor names. Which search tool plugin is the best for this sort of thing?
I use XSearch and it does have search by Cast if you hit Ctrl-Y or yellow button to change to that mode. My epg source (zap2xml) doesn't give me any cast info so I don't know how well it works. I never tried it but I assume SearchWiz is better since it's newer than XSearch which is a legacy plugin.
I actually use CDK Scheduler to automatically find and record almost every I want so I almost never search manually anyways.
