How to search a series for an episode?

I often want to find a specific episode of a given series.  The title search is difficult to use, because it produces hits from other series or from the names of series. I need a way to search within a particular series for an episode title or portion of same.  How can I do this?

Hello there,

 

You can try using our Advanced Search. You are able to filter your search with the parameters of your choice.

Thanks, but I tried to find a way to do this using Advanced Search without success before posting here.  Am I missing something?  If not this seems like a glaring omission.

There is a search keyword series=, which you can manually add to the URL of an advanced title search result.

Example:

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=george&series=tt0098904

Or perhaps easier, on the series page under Episodes, click the Top link, which includes this keyword, and then you can add the title= keyword manually:

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?series=tt0098904&view=simple&count=250&sort=user_rating,desc&title=george
