Bring Back "Search History" as search start page in Mobile App

I appreciate the default search page in the V3 app collecting trending/popular shows and movies as potential items to tap on right away but for someone like me who’s not watching or interested in any of these items (or just not watching them right now) its just a hold-up/extra barrier to finding what I’m looking for compared to V2 where my recent searched/viewed items were right there reflecting my actual interests/potential watches.

As such, would be nice to have the option to bring this feature back and show my recent searches like in v2. That way I don’t have to look up the same thing multiple times when I know I’m about to watch something or end up watching something I had looked up earlier.

This doesn’t need to be a either/or feature. Could be something where the page is split between trending and recent searches or maybe add a toggle in the app settings somewhere to pick which you’d rather see. Or maybe move the trending/popular items to its own tab instead of being baked into the search page. But this would be an extremely beneficial feature to get back in V3.

Other use-cases include:

  • Not remembering the title of a movie/show but being able to find it in my search results

  • Seeing a movie in the theater and being able to queue it up in my search history before I turn off my phone so I can log it right away once the film is over

  • Just seeing a history of what movies I’ve been looking at lately when trying to find something to watch or reccommend later on as a quicker alternative to going through my watchlist
