Netflix app on my iPad crashes when I attempt to search. I have an ipad1. I have removed and reinstalled the Netflix app with no luck. I have hard reset the device. No luck. I have closed all apps and launched the Netflix app, still no luck. I am running the latest iOS.

I've called Netflix several times in the past few months on tis issue. They always say they have never heard the issue before... In the ipad diagnostics, I often see a low memory crash error. I believe the issue would be resolved if they went back to the old search, which was to type into the search box, then click a button to search on the Netflix server and display a results page. I think the instant search must use too much memory for an pad 1. the instant search is ot as good either, because it only searches for titles.

I agree that the issue is with Netflix and memory. My diagnostics show low-memory conditions when it crashes sometimes. I've called Netflix a few times, but they say they have never heard of this issue before. In fact, I believe they need to code it better. I'm guessing that the issue may occur for users who have a lot of movies in their queue. They are loading up EVERYTHING into memory without checking how much they are loading. Then, when you click on the "Search" box, it tries to preload something that has no more room in memory to load. Clicking on the "Search" box should not do anything. Even typing should not do anything. We should be able to turn off instant search and just click a search button after we have typed in search words. This would be a better search method, because it would allow us to search for actors and directors, and keywords, not just movie titles.

When this happens I can double tap the home button and I can see the list of Apps that are running. I then just kill/close the netfilx app. I wait a second or two and launch the netflix app and the ability to seach is restored.

Same issue here. Both iPad and iPhone jailbroken but problem arises only on the former. Quitting app or freeing memory doesn't help. So far I've not found a solution. Have tried various options, including all the "fixes" listed here - no luck.

I have the same issue with the search. It all used to work just fine. Also it crashes when I look up info on a show then I try to change seasons. I'm on an original iPad that's NOT jail broken. Netflix claims they've never heard of this problem and just blame the iPad. No help at all! Hope somehow this gets resolved soon.
