One week after the arrival of Stadiums to Android TV and the new Chromecast with Google TV, we see how its app for Android is updated to add a surprising novelty that it hasn’t been around since the launch of this streaming gaming platform, it more than a year ago: the search bar. Until now, you had to scroll through the entire list of games to find a particular title.
The search bar arrived on the Stadia version a little over a month ago, and now it’s coming to Android via a experimental function that we will need to activate to take advantage of your search engine.
How to activate the Stadia browser for Android
With the app Stadiums updated for version 3.18 We can activate your search bar by clicking on our profile icon at the top right and then on Experiences. We will find there the new experimental function ‘Filter search’.
As indicated in the description of this function, a search bar will appear that will allow us filter by text on all Stadia games listings, such as deals, news, Stadia Pro games, all games etc.
It will also allow you to sort the search by title, price, recent additions or even by age group. In addition, as Google also points out, are working to add advanced search functionality in future updates.
At the moment, in this version, the search bar is experimental and very basic, so we will have to continue to wait for the Stadia search engine to officially and stably arrive to all users and with more functions.
