## Plex Collectionless
Gets every movie/show that is not in a collection unless the collection is in the exclusion list. This is a special collection type to help keep your library looking correct. When items in your library are in multiple collections it can mess up how they're displayed in your library.
For Example if you have a `Marvel Cinematic Universe` Collection set to `Show this collection and its items` and an `Iron Man` Collection set to `Hide items in this collection` what happens is the show overrides the hide and you end up with both collections displaying as well as the 3 Iron Man movies and if you set the `Marvel Cinematic Universe` Collection to `Hide items in this collection` then movies without a collection like `The Incredible Hulk` will be hidden from the library view.
To combat the problem above you set all collections to `Hide items in this collection` and create a collection and set it to `Hide collection` and put every movie that you still want to display in that collection.
With the variability of Plex Meta Manager maintaining a collection like this becomes very difficult, so in order to automate you can use `plex_collectionless`. You just have to tell it what collections to exclude or what collection prefix to use.
This is a known issue with Plex Collection and there is a [Feature Suggestion](https://forums.plex.tv/t/collection-display-issue/305406) detailing the issue more on their forms.
## Plex Search
Gets every movie/show based on the search parameters provided. The search will return any movie/show that matches at least one term from each search option. You can run multiple searches.
