In Advanced Title Search, please allow text input for "companies" (instead of check boxes). Please limit it to producer companies (excluding distributor companies). Thanks.
As a workaround, you can lookup companies, and manually edit the URL to choose that one. For instance, last night I wanted to find the film Ten Nights in a Bar Room, made by Essanay. That's a surprisingly prevalent title (~20 results). So instead I searched for essanay. After choosing the most likely one, I appended "&title=ten" to the url, and got my result. But instead I could have captured the company number (co0079753), and started at the ATS page, selected one of the checkboxed companies, and replaced their ID with co0079753. A lot more work than your suggestion, but at least it's Possible right now.
