Search by Director

Hello guys. 

New UI redesign, I can't search imdb for titles directed by a particular director. 

Say I'm looking for films directed by Martin Scorsese - I can find films, filter for feature films, feature films remotely related to Martin Scorsese - all in one big list. But I can't filter results to find films of any kind directed by Martin Scorsese.

Previously this feature was <job type>.

I understand if <job type> was offensive, and had to be taken out - hierarchies are bad. Everybody's the Scorsese. I fully and firmly feel this way. Yeah. Yeah. In fact movies shouldn't even like, have credits with ranked titles like, "cinematographer", or, "also starring" - we all shot the picture Mr Deakins.

We all, also-starred. Yeah. 

Because those are like, demeaning for everybody else that wasn't the largest face on the poster - oh, yeah, posters and interviews and closeups are bad too. Oscars for lead actor and supporting actor - even worse. 

Speaking of capitalism, it's possible to toggle a grid view, and click on "details" to see who directed each tile on the grid - so for 600 search results - of a director that's made 40 films but appeared in 560 other works, that's at least 1200 clicks. Clicks are good. That makes sense too. 

But if it's not a sensitivity nor a maximizing-clicks issue;

I'd like to know - 

What's the new way to find imdb search results for films directed by Martin Scorsese? 

(I get that the person reading this likely didn't influence any of this, all in good humor, thanks)
