Search on Title too often switches to a search on People with no recovery
Latest example: Tonight I'm trying to get ahead of
Feel Like Dancing
Episode 4
9:00 PM ON SHORTS 1789 • TV-MAA celebration of physical expression to music, including visually arresting heist animation 'Crush' and a burglary in crime thriller 'Good Night'; a life-changing deal is struck in drama 'Ned & Me'; and psychologically charged story 'Tina'.
by linking the shorts in the description on my calendar to their instantiations on IMDb. I did okay with 'Ned & Me,' but there are way too many shorts and other films by the titles of 'Crush' and 'Good Night' to be able to find the correct ones. (I was wrong in my last post that the addition of Shorts TV as a streamer would short-cut the search process because one has to go to every title of the same name to see the channel logo.) Now I have to revert to my old practice in such cases of seeing the cast list at the end of the films in order to search on collaborations in order to sort out the correct title of a list of so many.
The problem that I'm reporting here regards the last title of the hour, 'Tina.' When I keep trying to search Titles for that name, IMDb's search algorithm keeps switching it to People. How can I force the algorithm to search the section I require?

I recorded this episode from Shorts TV while watching a Hitchcock movie last night on TCM.
Notes on Feel Like Dancing E4
1. Crush: Found easily after finding a writer-director (from the end credits) on IMDb. Unlike the last 2 titles in this list, this title does not carry the Shorts TV logo on its front page.
2. Good Night: I’d seen this one before, but it’s not to be found on IMDb under any number of search criteria, e.g., screen title (Buona notte*), collaboration searches for cast members and for creators, the latter of which found 5 by them but not this one. *Exact spelling, i.e., 2 words, initial uppercase then all lower case from there.
3. Ned & Me: already covered in main entry.
4. Tina: Found easily after finding the writer-director (from the end credits) on IMDb.
None of this, however, helps to answer my original question, i.e., how to force the IMDb search algorithm to limit its search to the specified section (i.e., Titles in this case) rather that the one it prefers (i.e., People a.k.a. Celebs).
