It's my understanding that GiP indexes TV programs via the schedules.
That is probably right. My understanding is that there are two constraints. The first is that the programme has been broadcast or is going to be broadcast. The second is that it has been broadcast within the last 30 days or is going to be broadcast within whatever the time limit is for future programmes.
That does not mean the search facility is useless or should be removed. It means you need to be aware of the limitations. The search box in the iPlayer is also very useful as an alternative search mechanism. You do need to be aware of how to extract PIDs. --pid-recursive is often very helpful, but it does not always work.
