Advanced Search - Show all "See more information" at Once / "or" Function
Dear IMDb community:
I've found posts complaining about the Advanced Search redesign effective last year, but cannot locate any posts regarding a solution or other options. There are three different view modes for Advanced Search results: "detailed," "grid," and "compact." There is no view mode that displays all the information found under "See more information" -- you have to select it for each search result individually. It would be very helpful and preferable to have a view mode that displayed that information for all entries. There was a way for a time that you could somehow get that older-style view, but I don't remember how, and perhaps the redesign worked its way through the site to eliminate that. I wish I could quickly see the genres, writers, directors, top cast, etc. Is there a workaround for this, an ability to return to the older Advanced Search, or an extension? As long as I'm wishing for things, it would be good to have such an "expanded" view with a "summary" toggle. I want more information, but like using "compact" view, I may or may not want to see summaries that give away too much of the story.
Finally, another thing that has been discussed, but I have not seen a solution to: Advanced Search using "or." For example, I might want to search for animation that falls into either the fantasy OR science fiction genres. I might want to search by keyword for works based on comics OR based on graphic novels. Is that possible, and I haven't figured it out? That would be a great ability.
Thank you to Col Needham, IMDb, and the community.
