When I try searching for shows such as:

Mike & Molly or Crash & Bernstein on the companion app, it says no shows are found, but when i search WMC, the shows come up

I had that happen too.
Just skip it, and all is well, at least for me.

What happens if you search without the &?

It finds the show as if the "&" is there.
I was doing a keyword recording for "Thomas & friends", I think.

Probably just need to do the searches without special characters then,
Apparently it has problems with those.

I will fix it up in the next release. Putting in & in the search most likely interferes with the request url when I query so it probably just throws an exception.

Oh, oops. I was referring to MC native. Not the ceton app.
Didn't notice what sub-forum I was in.

So we are working on a fix, which will just be on the server side. We are working on a new beta for the companion services so it should be in that next build. This way it won't require any app updates.
