Redesigned Filmosearch
We’re excited to announce that we’ve redesigned IMDb’s Filmosearch experience to be powered by Advanced Title Search. In the coming days, IMDb will incrementally roll out this refresh. The redesign streamlines the flow of your search and makes it easy to see relevant details about someone’s filmography while allowing you to keep adjusting your results with our powerful Advanced Title Search interface if you want.
To try it out: start on a Name Page, open “All topics“ in the top right of the screen, and then select one of the options under the ”Credits” section to go to our new Filmosearch (within Advanced Title Search) experience. For example, see below for the experience if you select “by Rating” from the “Credits” section on Hong Chau's page. Happy searching!

Uh-oh, here we go again.
Assumed the old solution would be all-solving. But - sure enough today, I'm using the Creator Page > Credits approach, and filtering to exclude non-directed projects.
So I've got Andrei Tarkovsky. I've got his Features. Features Tarkovsky directed.
Time to sort by user_rating now.
Oh look - everything else he didn't direct, just popped back in.
Now it's one big list of everything even vaguely, tangentially Tarkovsky.
So, how do I;
Sort - Andrei Tarkovsky + Feature Films + Directed By + By user_rating? - with exclusivity of director and project type?

Reply above doesn't address the issue raised -
Filter by job_type
and
Sort by user_rating
(sorting by user_rating undoes the initial job_type filter)
Keyterm here - user_rating.
Key phrase - exclusively directed by.
Thanks

A quick update from the team: implementation is now underway and since this is a complicated change, we expect it to be live for limited customer testing by the end of next month if all goes smoothly. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

Using the desktop version of IMDb, in the class view, I am trying to filter an individual's credits by job type and list them in order by number of votes. I have been able to do this in the past but now I cannot sort by number of votes and retain the filter for job type. In the example below, the "by Votes" results page shows all 16 of his credited films without any way to filter out his producer and/or camera and electrical department credits, or even just to tell on which eight he is credited as a cinematographer. This feature was available before, and still is on the mobile app (I hope it will be, since for now I have to use that). Please restore this feature!

Hi
Can't seem to find a way to sort by IMDB Rating, as it was a while ago? is this feature now missing? is there a way to bring it back?
Also, when viewing a director's works by topic, I can't seem to choose the job type 'director'. is there a way to bring back this feature?
Overall, seems like many helpful features are missing since the latest redesign, not sure if this is done on purpose or not.
Thank You

Hi everyone, We wanted to provide a quick update on the redesigned Filmosearch experience. During internal testing this week, we found a few bugs that need to be resolved before we can release the update. We will update this thread when we have those fixes. Thanks again for your patience.

Thank You for updating the functionality of the site, in my experience everything works well and the missing features are restored.
I have a suggestion: changing the name 'Credit Category' to something else, maybe just 'Credit', would be nicer to have it shorter, more concise. The word 'Category' feels redundant.
All the Best :)

After months of waiting, I am so glad you finally added the "Credit Category" feature to Advanced search. It works great! Thank y'all so much for finally coming through with it.
