to Search. Press the RIGHT arrow or SELECT button to launch Search.

Search for Programs
The Search Menu features a Search By Card on the
left, a keyboard in the center and a Results Card on
the right. When you first open Search, the highlight
bar will be on Search By Title in the left card.
1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to highlight a
Search By filter. You can search by program
title, keywords or cast & crew.
2. Press the RIGHT arrow or SELECT button to
begin a search. Or, if the search keyboard
is configured as the Remote Control
keyboard (for more information, please
see Chapter 11: Settings), you can begin
pressing number keys to enter characters
into the search box. The focus will move to
the keyboard in the center card.
3. If the keyboard is configured as On-Screen, use UP arrow, DOWN arrow, LEFT arrow, RIGHT arrow and SELECT
to enter characters into the search box. If you are using the Remote Control keyboard, use the number (0-9) keys
to enter characters into the search box. Each number represents three or four letters.
4. As soon as you enter characters into the search
box, results will begin to appear in the
Results Card on the right. Continue typing
until the program you want appears in the
results box.
5. Press the RIGHT arrow. The focus and
highlight bar will move to the Results Card.
This image shows the On-Screen keyboard. The
Search By option offers several search categories,
such as Title, Keyword or Cast & Crew.
The On-Screen keyboard, above, features individual
letters. Use the arrow keys to navigate the letters
and press SELECT to enter it.
Chapter 10: Search
The Contour Program Guide features a Universal Search function that lets you quickly sort through all the programming
available through TV, On DEMAND, Pay-Per-View and even items saved to your DVR, if one is connected, in a single
search. In addition to traditional title searches, you can search for new programs by keyword or by your favorite actors or
directors. Searches can be saved and re-used to find new content as it becomes available.
This Chapter includes information on using Search.
