Keyword List Truncation
When I searched to see if a keyword existed to describe something like "super-scream" or "sonic cry" i.e., similar to Black Canary's sonic-cry (but a different character), I wasn't able to because the number of keywords was truncated at "shot-with-a-bow-and-arrow". I went to this imdb page and got the same results: https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/field/keywords/value?S. I'd prefer to use one that already exists, if appropriate, rather than create my own, but given the current search parameters, this is proving difficult. Wuzzup with that?

I can see the problem with the field browser, but the main site search feature has a keyword option which gives specific matches rather than an alphabetical list.
I see sonic-scream is listed, if that works.

There are a number of super-powered (obviously fictional) characters who have this ability:
- Black Canary
- Banshee
- Sindel
- Kabal
- Landlady (by Yuen Qiu in Kung Fu Hustle)
So, there are many titles to which a descriptive keyword can be applied.2

Currently I can't type very much because of a hand injury, so I'll leave here this table which I believe is self-explanatory...
In short:
- 11 of the 27 keyword lists are truncated to some extent (A, B, C, D, F, H, M, P, R, S, T).
- Because of the truncation, some lists leave out up to 80% of their keywords.
- The number of excluded keywords will (obviously) keep on rising as long as the problem persists.

Hello,
I went to browse the complete list of keywords that are currently in use. At the top there are links to each letter in the alphabet, and when you click one, it begins the list at items starting with that letter. I clicked "R". Since I'm looking for keywords that start with "res," I scrolled down to the bottom. The last item on the list started with "reference-to-". So I clicked the "Next" button. This brought me to the beginning of the keywords starting with "S". What? What happened to the rest of the R's?? Obviously, if the last item displayed on the page starts with "ref," then there are still many more R's left to display. How can I access those?
Also, why isn't there a search box for this list? That would be so much quicker.
Thanks.
