Play Pocket Casts: Unlocking the Power of Podcast Search

At Pocket Casts, we're thrilled to announce a major upgrade to our podcast search feature. Gone are the days when you could only search for episodes within individual podcasts. Our brand-new episode search feature takes searching to the next level, giving you unparalleled access to the world of podcasts.

One of the key enhancements is the expanded range of searchable fields. This means that more podcasts will be discovered with every search, making it easier than ever to find your favorite shows. The transition to Elasticsearch has unlocked the full potential of our search capabilities, resulting in faster response times and introducing text searching features like fuzzy matching.

We've been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen, and we're excited to share the fruits of our labor with you. Our team at Pocket Casts is dedicated to continually improving our service based on your feedback and feature requests. In fact, improving our search functionality has been at the top of the list for quite some time.

This upgraded podcast search functionality was first unveiled earlier this year, when we migrated from MySQL database to Elasticsearch. This move has enabled us to take advantage of the powerful features offered by Elasticsearch, allowing us to provide a more seamless and efficient searching experience.

With our new episode search feature, you'll be able to find podcasts quickly and easily using keywords, titles, descriptions, and even tags. Whether you're looking for a specific topic or genre, our enhanced search capabilities will help you discover new shows that resonate with your interests.

We're proud of the progress we've made and look forward to continuing to improve our service based on your feedback. So go ahead, start exploring, and enjoy the power of podcast search like never before!
