On the AppleTv you have search options almost everywhere within the iTunes store, Computer, Podcasts, Netflix, Youtube etc.

Using the remote that come's with the apple tv is cumbersome since their is no keyboard. Most people who have Apple Tv's also have an iOS device as well and most have or at the very least heard of Apple application called "Remote" which lets you use your iOS device as a remote for the Apple Tv. A key feature of this app a side from letting your control your Apple Tv is that it gives you a virtual keyboard making searching that much easier. Taking this another step forward you also have the option to use dictation for your searches.
