Request ability to search episode titles, not just podcast titles

App version: Version 3.5.0 (from Google Play)

Problem you may be having, or feature you want: If I’m interested in X person who is making the rounds promoting something and doing interviews on 20 podcasts, currently I have to find out elsewhere that they have done a particular podcast and search for that podcast by name, just to listen to one episode.

Suggested solution: I would like the search function to also find your search terms in podcast episode titles, with the ability to filter results to show only podcast titles, only episode titles, or both. It would be amazing if you could also save searches so that I could choose to be notified if, for example, a podcast I don’t follow posts an episode with “steven king” in the title. Happy to discuss/clarify!

Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details:

I’m glad you filed this issue. There is currently a public API to search by person API Docs | PodcastIndex.org, so AntennaPod could start implementing this feature.

I think we should wait until there is a general search by episode title for any keyword, not just by person. Until this API exist, AntennaPod would not be able to implement search by episode title.
