IMDb Advanced Search Redesign Beta

IMDb Advanced Search Redesign Beta

 

We are excited to announce IMDb’s Advanced Search redesign Beta!  Between October 17, 2023 and late October 2023, customers are now able to leverage all three sub-searches (Name, Title, Collaborations) on a single search page, making it easier to update search queries and navigate to desired results. The refreshed search is meant to enhance the IMDb experience for all customers worldwide, improving the discovery and navigation with easier access to celebrity, movie, and TV content on any device. The updated experience reflects feedback and suggestions from customers as well as in-depth research.

 

We hope you enjoy this latest improvement, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world's most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content. 

- The IMDb team

I've complained about the new Advanced Search feature before, but since it's been forced on us I have a small suggestion that should make it somewhat less annoying to use- would it be possible to add a feature that lets us skip to a specific number? Right now we always have to start at 1-50 on any search, and we have to manually load each fifty new entries. That is time consuming and beyond frustrating, especially considering the fact that with the old feature all we had to do was type the number we wanted to start with in the URL.

Adding this feature would be a great help!

On the Advanced Search, can you add the alternate title underneath the primary title and make the results page(s) searchable?

Could you explain further what you have in mind, lhanes?

Regarding alternate title, for example,  the 1986 film Love City has an alternate (original) title Ai shiti,  which is why when you sort all the movies in 1986 in alphabetical order, Love City shows up in place 39 instead of place 587 given the following filters (Title type: movie, tv mini series, TV movie, TV special, video; Release date: January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1986; Number of votes: 100 to 999999).  Would it be possible to add the alternate title so that the entry looks like this:

39.  Love City

Original title: Ai shiti

1986   1h 26m  12

*5.9 (183)  * Rate

Regarding the searchable request, given the subset of filtered results, is it possible to add a sub-filter, where if you enter the wildcard Love*, the results will be all of those films from the primary filter where the title begins with the word "Love"? It wouldn't even necessarily need to generate a secondary filtered set of results, but could simply go to the first result that meets that criterion. In this example, since Love City is #39 in the set of results and presuming there are no other titles prior to Love City that fall into that place as the result of an alternate title, it would be the first "hit" when you search for Love*.

A search on the content used to allow a search for a quote containing a word or phrase and brought up a list of quotes tied to the movies.  It was a great feature.  Now?  Non-functional.

@wilderbyfar​ Please see our examples above https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-advanced-search-redesign-beta/652d9e3c7727574070c19e1a?commentId=652fdaf458bb4c5e6dabdd21&replyId=65303cb53ffcab3e70469dc2 and the help at https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/discover-watch/using-the-advanced-search-feature/GLUEUYWPQNPTEVPU?ref_=helpsrall#keyword

The quote search has been folded into the main advanced title search (ATS) for greater power and flexibility.  You can search quotes using additional criteria (eg: movies only) and sort the results using all of the ATS orders.  

From the earlier post -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?role=nm0000216&title_type=feature&sort=release_date,asc&quotes=%22i%27ll%20be%20back%22 (a search which was simply not possible before). 

Hope this helps.
