**Broad Search** - For complex network topologies with multiple subnets or VLANs, the `--broad-search` flag enables comprehensive device discovery that combines mDNS discovery with targeted port scanning across detected network interfaces.

352
+
```bash
353
+
# Use broad search to find devices across multiple subnets
354
+
$ go-chromecast ls --broad-search
355
+
356
+
# Works with all commands that connect to devices
357
+
$ go-chromecast status --broad-search
358
+
$ go-chromecast load media.mp4 --broad-search
359
+
$ go-chromecast ui --broad-search
360
+
```
361
+

+
**Multi-Subnet Scanning** - The `scan` command supports scanning specific subnets or auto-detecting all available subnets:
# Traditional single subnet scan (default behavior)
372
+
$ go-chromecast scan --cidr 192.168.1.0/24
373
+
```
374
+
375
+
**When to use:**
376
+
- Multiple VLANs or subnets in your network
377
+
- Chromecast devices not appearing in device list
378
+
- Network setups with WiFi isolation or complex routing
379
+
- Corporate networks with segmented subnets
380
+
- Chromecast Audio groups on different ports
381
+

**Note:** Broad search is slower than standard discovery as it performs more comprehensive network scanning. The enhanced discovery automatically detects your network topology and finds devices that standard mDNS discovery might miss, including Chromecast groups on non-standard ports.
