Improving the search for people with the same name

Still not there if I search just "Michael Angelo" and then if u click "exact matches" there are dozens (more) of "Michael Angelos' with no roman numeral so you'd have to click one at a time. The exact search function should work as it has for more than a decade! Thanks for reaching out ;)

I just googled your name with "IV imdb" and assumed it was the first result since IV did appear by the name. To get that page to come up on the IMDb search I had to click the "more exact matches" link TWICE, and know to look for "visual effects". We really have lost something with the newest version of search. I know frequent contributors complained about it at the time.

Yeah it's strange, it worked for so long, I could tell a client "Michael Angelo IV" and they'd find it immediately searching IMDB. Hopefully "Michelle" from IMDB can help, I've seen her on these forums working miracles ;) Thanks again for taking interest, hope this leads to help for all!

@mangelissimo​ Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the lack of precision in the search.  We have opened a ticket with the search team to see what we can do (ticket reference #V1334989237).  Please note that in the meantime, if you have an IMDbPro paid subscription then you can set-up a vanity URL which people can use to more easily locate you.  For more details, see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/manage-your-imdb-page/setting-your-vanity-url-other-external-websites/GDH9V8TP28AZYDL5?ref_=helpsrall# — for example, I am https://imdb.me/col.needham  Hope this helps.  

Amazing thank you Col!
