Does a search function exist whilst using a NAS?

Hi Guys, I have a WD TV Live HD Media Player with Firmware 1.06.43_V and have never seen a search function around?
I am using a 16TB NAS for my content which is almost full, and with many folders and files it is getting hard to find stuff.

I am accessing the NAS via Video - Network shares - My NAS device.

When I enter the NAS and the main folder appears, I press the “search” button on the small WD remote, but a deny icon pops up on the top right corner.

Any advise if a search function could be enabled?

Nope…

Search requires the Media Library database, which doesn’t exist for NAS shares.

Only the Live SMP and Live Hub have that function.
