IMDb Advanced Search Redesign

@plur62​ 

Will there be any more changes or is this the final version?

No, this is not the final version as there are still some outstanding bugs and missed requirements vs. the old version. To answer your specific questions:

1. No plans for this.  The more simple display tests better and is more scalable, sorry. 

2. This is on the list to review (not changing the pagination, but at least supporting an extra parameter so you can skip to a specific point in the results).

3. We have flagged this for the team. 

Thanks for the feedback. 

@UnicornIMDB​ Location search is still available — it is a topic search on the advanced search page so that you can combine other search criteria with the location search.  Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/discover-watch/using-the-advanced-search-feature/GLUEUYWPQNPTEVPU?ref_=helpsrall#keyword for more details.  

@Pencho15​ This is the search you need -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_movie,video,feature&release_date=2023-01-01,2023-12-31&sort=num_votes,desc&adult=include&runtime=45,9999999&my_ratings=restrict

By popular request from customers, the title type “movie” now includes narrative features and documentaries so there was no need for you to restrict the search to only titles which have the documentary genre. 

@Col_Needham​ Thanks.

I mentioned this flaw on the first page of this thread and Col said they would look into it, though admittedly that is now seven weeks ago.

(A difference I noticed is that the title search gives me a 404 error while the name search just ignores the search phrase.)

@Peter_pbn​ / @plur62 Yes, this is still on the list of issues which the team is working through.

This link used to work on old Advanced search, but not anymore

As noted earlier in the thread, this was recently fixed. Thanks again for the problem report.

@Peter_pbn​ I cannot remember either, but the team can check the previous software.  In any case I think such results should be included so we will report this. 

It's under Page Topics.

@bderoes​ 😀

Thank you !!

@TrailerTracker​ Good catch, thanks. It is a little bit of both a bug and a feature; if we cannot fix it, we should at least document it.  The “Title name” field searches the original titles so https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=Une%20corde%20un%20Colt works and it searches the US titles so https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=Cemetery%20Without%20Crosses also works. However, it does not search any other local AKAs, which is the same behaviour as the previous Advanced Title Search. We will report this to the appropriate team.

@kid6745​ Please see our reply above -> https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-advanced-search-redesign/654281ee477f6f20ed824a5f?commentId=65b40cb5b2f5be641b4d7a95&replyId=65b902e94573f70362136326

In your case, the URL would be -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=2018-01-01,2018-12-31&sort=num_votes,desc&adult=include&countries=!IN&count=250 

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. 

omg, thank you so much! all i had to do was move the exclamation mark! i even asked chatgpt about this and the suggestions it gave me were "&countries=NOTIN" and "&countries=~IN" etc but none worked.

again, many thanks!

@ansgar​ Thanks for the problem report. We have flagged this to the appropriate team. Some Advanced Title Search fields default to using a logical “or” but most use a logical “and” for the comma separator.  We are checking to see if companies can be switched to “and” as that would make more sense and be similar to other related fields. 

@pxara​ This option has not been removed, but you do have to be logged in to see it -- can you check that you are logged in? The following should work if you are logged in -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=tv_series&sort=my_ratings,desc&my_ratings=restrict

Hope this helps. 

Hello! I'm logged in. I can filter for titles I've rated but not by my rating. That was possible before the update, now that option has been removed. Also, I'm talking about filtering by my rating, not sorting.

@pxara​ The link provided above sorts by your rating so you can scroll to the 8/10 section. 

Are you referring to a recent change on advanced title search?  The new version supports all of the previous queries (and more) aside from a few pending bugs with fixes in the pipeline.  Checking the ATS page from a year ago and there are no filters by your rating -> https://web.archive.org/web/20230210101034/https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ and simlarly none older that we could find. 

@Col_Needham​ Wow! I feel like I'm in an alternate reality. I've been sorting and scrolling through the lists to get what I need. But today I was sure that option existed and I just couldn't find it with the new design.

I guess I was just remembering the very old My Ratings page. That option was available there: filtering by Title type and My rating at the same time.

You should add this option, anyway.

Thank you for your answer.
