Keyword Search

@Peter_pbn Your suggestion is obvious. I don't know what keywords are available, that's why I want the list to find them. Your suggestion is obvious.

As I understand your original post, you were implying that you already knew which keyword you wanted to search for, but couldn't find it in the list of combination keywords supplied by IMDb, because that list is in ranked order by frequency, instead of alphabetical order. If that was indeed what you were asking and you do have a specific keyword combination in mind that you want to search for, then you can quickly find the second keyword by searching for that keyword in your browser (hit ctrl-F in most browsers and type in the word), and it will immediately take you to the second keyword you are looking for (assuming it has been used enough times in combination with your first keyword to appear in the ranked list).

In your response, you are now suggesting that you "don't know what keywords are available." If you mean you can't even think of a second keyword to search for and would like suggestions, then you could get ideas for that by viewing the keyword pages of individual movies.

You can also check out this complete list of all keywords, in alphabetical order:

Fair warning, though: it is not really complete, because there are so many keywords under certain letters, that the list gets chopped off in the middle.

@keyword_expert See my reply to keyword-expert.

@keyword_expert If the system displayed every combination keyword alphabetically like you're suggesting, the list could be thousands of keywords long. 

I'm not suggesting this.

As I stated, when I search for a specific keyword I already get a huge list of additional keywords I can use to refine the search. This is the list that should be alphabetized.

Try it:

Use a keyword search for grass. You get a list of keywords containing grass. Choose the first entry (grass) because that is the main keyword of interest. So far so good. You now get a list of 294 titles with this keyword AND a box above the list of titles containing a whole lot of additional keywords to further refine the search. This is the list that should be alphabetized.

In other words, since IMDB offers a list of refining keywords, I'd like to use that list but it's unwieldy with the current sort order.

Why would alphabetical order be better? I strongly prefer the list in its current form (ordered by frequency), because that allows me to understand patterns in keyword combinations. Listing them alphabetically would be practically random. 

As I said in my other response, if there is a specific second keyword you want to add to your search, just type ctrl-F and search for that keyword, and it will immediately be highlighted in the non-alphabetized list.

@keyword_expert Well, you work differently from some of us.  I personally don't care about frequency, I look for specifics. So how about a choice so some of us can see a list in alphabetical order for those of us perusing the refine list for something that will work or checking to see if a second possibility is in the list.

Sure, that would be fine to add as an option. But even without it, you can still peruse the list even if it is in frequency order, and the "ctrl-F" option works great to check to see whether a second specific keyword is included. I do both of these all the time.
