Netflix for Android TV finally gains universal search feature

One of the biggest complaints surrounding the Netflix for Android TV application was the lack of a universal search function This was bothersome to Android TV owners because the Roku and Apple TV applications has this ability out of the box. Thanks to an upcoming update, this highly-requested feature will be making its way to your Android TV.
