Interesting situation where a film with an alternative title in the US isn't found

Usually if I search on an alternative title, IMDb is smart enough to show me the actual title. Last night, I watched a movie that is on Amazon, entitled "Hearts Down Under". I was at the point of adding it because IMDb was not recognizing either when I searched for it or when I tried to add it.

The actual movie is Romance on the Menu. It has the alternate title for the US as "Hearts Down Under", so why did it not show up in the search? This is very confusing. I only found the movie after searching for the stars.

@adrian It’s #2 in the suggestion search for me:

and the same on the full search -> https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=Hearts%20Down%20Under

The title is displayed for you as “Romance on the Menu” because this is tagged as a US (alternative title); in order for the title to be displayed as “Hearts Down Under” for you, it would need to be tagged as (imdb display title).  Per your experience and the Hallmark Channel itself -> https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/hearts-down-under it looks like the AKA attributes need updating and the US poster needs to be swapped (and we will take care of that — 2 more August contribution points for me :-)
