Great function seems to have disappeared?

You used to be able to type in a keyword.

A list of films and TV shows and episodes came up.

You then could check the box for TELEVISION and then narrow it down for TV SERIES, TV EPISODES, TV MINI-SERIES?

Is there somewhere else I can access this function?

I would appreciate any help!

@stropiano  This is still supported — where/how are you looking? 

You can perform a specific keyword search from the search box at the top of every IMDb page by choosing “Keywords” in the menu to the left of the search box:

or you can leave the menu on the default setting and instead on the search results page, select the keywords filter on the right hand side of the page. 

For the example shown above: based-on-novel you would reach: https://www.imdb.com/find/?s=kw&q=based%20on%20novel and clicking the first link in the results will take you to: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=based-on-novel&explore=keywords

We have actually added more filters than before, but to filter to, say, just series and mini-series, use the options in the left hand side of the page to reach: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=based-on-novel&explore=keywords&title_type=tv_series,tv_miniseries as shown here:

Hope this helps.
