ATS: The 'Languages' field in the Advanced Title Search is useless
Every other title is tagged as including four or five languages because of a word or two in it, so the "Languages" field in the Advanced Title Search is basically useless. When I use it looking for all French speaking films I saw, for instance, most of the results of the search are typical american films that probably include a few french words. Obviously thats not what I was looking for. I suggest that the Languages field would only filter the titles in which the MAIN Language of the title is as selected in the search form. (Please excuse me for my bad English).

Both options are actually accessible on the site. The one used in the advanced title search has the operator 'languages' in the URL. The other option, which only lists titles where the language is listed first in the language data, is 'primary_language'. You can replace the operator in the URL manually and experiment with the results.
