These connections usually make use of proxy servers which might limit the connectivity of some modules.
Solution 1: Checking for Search Filters
Kodi has a search filter option which allows users to filter the search results. In some cases, users had the search filter toggled on which filtered the search and didn’t display all the results. You should check the information beneath the search options and locate the search filters. Search filters such as unwatched or watched might limit your search capability and give you an illusion that the search module isn’t working. Restart the application after applying the search filters and check if the issue is resolved.
Solution 2: Clearing Cache
Cache in Kodi contains temporary information used by the application to perform its operations. This data is used actively not only in search but in other modules as well. If the cache is corrupt or has bad data, some of the features might not work as expected. Hence we recommend that you clear your cache in Exodus and see if this does the trick. Some of your preferences might be lost and you may have to set them again in the future.
