I would even settle for a way where I can ask, "Where can I stream X?" There used to be canistream.it -- which is apparently now being rebuilt but has long been mostly useless. Fingers crossed that it becomes useful.

I did a search for "streaming search" and got https://reelgood.com/ and https://www.justwatch.com/. Roku also has a search engine called "What's On". https://www.roku.com/whats-on.

Now if only someone would combine all of these search engines...

The Google TV app does a good job at that. It checks all my installed apps and links directly to the media item in that app if I pick a piece of media on one. It will also link to services I don't have, or offer a pay-to-play through Google itself.

justwatch.com works pretty well, at least in the USA.

Works well in Canada too (as long as you are on their Canadian site).
