Additional Podcast search options such as -episode description

thinking about a search selection menu when searching for new podcasts where they could be searched by Title/Name (this seems like the current default) or Podcast Description- (description of the Podcast itself) or Episode Description (the description of a specific episode)
for instance if im searching for information re: “foo-example” I currently only get results for a podcast with “foo-example” in the title it seems.
With a search for Episode Description I could find a podcast that was called
“Bar-cast” where the creator of “foo-example” was interviewed on several specific episodes.
just a thought… hope that makes sense

I’ve been using AntennaPod for over a year, and I love it!
THANKS!!!

I don’t have an answer but had to share how much the question made me smile. I haven’t seen anyone use Foo Bar examples for a long time. :grin:

Actually, the episode search already takes into account the episode description :slight_smile:

Ah, I thought this was about the local episode search. Indeed, there is no search for episodes of non-subscribed podcasts. That’s mostly because of the way podcasts work as a decentralized ecosystem. Episode search would need a central server that could be used to track users
