What happened to search?

It's broken all of a sudden. It doesn't seem to be including alternate titles anymore. I had to search the site through Google to get the right pages for about a dozen films that were easily pulled up before. Not only are the results inaccurate they seem to focus almost entirely on post-2010 films. Even when the only film that exactly matches what I searched is from the 1970s, it ends up in extended results (IF it's the display title, otherwise it doesn't show up at all).

CALIFORNIA AXE MASSACRE. No results. It used to bring this up...https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075710/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_6, but that was before this format change.

WHEN THE SCREAMING STOPS gets 40-50 hits (the initial 5 all being 2018-2022 films), none of which bear that title. THE LORELY'S GRASP, is not among them despite being the only film on the site with that exact title. It's also its most common title. This is the case with practically every film I try to search via an alternate title.

@zombihntr Sorry about that. The new search is supposed to be backwards compatible with the old one so these are bugs. We will let the appropriate team know about this.
