Title search needs work

Feature Request

I search for “Norman… Is That You?” and variations of such. Can not find the Redd Foxx movie. But there it is, under the actor’s page.

This has happened enough to be of concern. Are you not using a sounds-like algorithm?

Can you bring back search by IMDb or TMDB ids? Those sites only need “Is That You” to pull up the correct movie.

    Looking for the Michael caine movie The Island, literally not in the search results but on his page. This update is rough. Plus not having the title in the search results was a bad decision too.

    The search seems broken in V3 - sometimes even if I have the name input identically to what it is, it doesn’t even show at all, other times it’s the 16th movie in the search results. I don’t remember this being an issue in V2. Also, most of the time the results look randomized - they aren’t in chronological order or in order by spelling/sounds like. At least 20% of the time I have to search by the name of the actor in it to even find the movie or tv show I’m looking for.
