Lists: Add advanced User List search

What if IMDb was to implement a feature similar to it's Advanced Title Search for User Lists? A separate entity exclusive to lists that bases itself on similar functions? For instance:
1. Title: If one types in 'New Releases' for example, all lists that contains those words in it's headings will appear in a list.
2. Title Type: This could also apply to User Lists.
3. Release Date: This can apply to the date that the list was created.
4. Genres: This feature is already applicable but, it could also be placed here.
5. Keywords: For example; Zombie. That appears in the description of the list.
6. IMDb "Top 250" and IMDb "Top "1000" User Lists: This could be achieved by  allowing users to vote on lists. One vote per user per list. User cannot vote for own lists. Largest number of votes appears on the top. This could also be categorized under; Titles, People, Characters, and Images.
7. Lists, Include / Exclude: This could remain identical and used in conjunction with other User Lists. 
8. Type of List: This could be an added feature where one could choose either:
a. Titles
b. People
c. Characters
d. Images
A previously proposed idea 'Lists of Lists' By Emperor could also be implemented. 
 https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/lists_of_lists
Currently the best way to achieve this is by bookmarking, but is not a very practical solution.
I do not have a clue how feasible these ideas are? But I am sure many will agree, a sorting system for User Lists will be beneficial to both IMDb and it's members. Lists that are beneficial will inevitably appeal to the majority of Users and become more prominent. The fact is, there is a great number of very talented people creating phenomenal lists, worthy of more exposure. This in turn will reflect very well on the quality of content on IMDb and compel future Listees to raise the bar when creating new lists. And lastly, through customer confidence, Amazon will reap the benefits, through sales. A win win situation for everyone.
Yours sincerely

Dr-Faustus,

I "liked" your idea when you first suggest it. So far nothing has happened with your idea or similar ideas. I'm posting in response to keep the idea active.

To other IMDb users, please click the like button to indicate you would like this feature implemented.

Hi Dan Dassow

Thanks for your support. 

I too would like to put forward a request to fellow IMDb users in support of the implementation of a useful user-list feature. Similar to the one put forward above.

Please show your support by clicking on the 'like' button.

Reactivation: In view of recent changes to user-lists and possible upgrades in 2018, I would like to put forward the same suggestions as proposed in this thread. Hopefully, if IMDb staff decide to implement constructive changes to user-lists and how they are displayed, maybe some of those suggestions may prove helpful.

Option to Search User Lists on IMDB

"Best Watch" Lists can be typed in to google, where you'll then get IMDB User Lists show up, but it'd be nice to search directly on IMDB

It would be amazing If IMDB would Implement this, If enough people Like or want this, they said they'd think about adding it!!👍👍🙏

Eg.

Best Documentary List 2024 Must Watch!!

Greatest Horror Movie List

Top 50 List

Etc

Dear all,

I guess it happened also to you to search for some IMDB users list.

Maybe just to get some new idea or suggestion for movies you don't know.

Well if you ever did it, you had to do it via google.

An idea could be to let the IMDB search engine look for lists. For instance, for lists whose title is close to your query.

Please make User Lists searchable. The feature is currently useless.

Every second user creates lists "movies that i watched", "series that i watched". Who cares? 

Since there is a bulk of unnecessary lists it it IMPOSSIBLE to find something related.

I would love to find "My top 10 roadmovies", "movies like x files" - but thats not possible

I recommend introducing tags to lists and search for a title.

Meanwhile, you can use google for this. Just include 

site:imdb.com/list

in your search.
