I have a Sky HD box and must admit the search does work well.
What you have got to remember though is we have international users so
accented characters would have to be catered for. Some people use
remotes, some use keyboards. Making things work in a satisfactory way
for everyone can make things more difficult than it first appears.
That's not to say it can't be done and I'm sure you will come up with
inventive ways to keep everyone happy.
If you take the time to add the suggestion to the forum
(https://forum.mythtv.org/viewforum.php?f=9) so your ideas doesn't get
lost I would be grateful :)
