What have you done to SEARCH function?

@ARIOLands​  The &exact=true results return all of your example titles at #1, at least in English on the web site. We cannot switch the search to only look for exact matches by default. 

What results are you seeing instead? We will need much more detail from you if we are going to be able to diagnose this remotely, sorry.  Your use of IMDb does not appear to be standard, so we encourage you to check https://www.imdb.com/conditions and possibly contact our licensing department if appropriate. 

Dear Col

read what you wrote for me please

Standard?

Standard is what imdb gives us in search tool 

and use search tool and add those items and hundred of more titles which I can mention them in a list here but it seems I didnt find proper place to mention several top coders/developers' concerns 

please use STANDARD search of imdb and see what STANDARD search gives you for those titles

sir

your last month's Change in search was not correct move

now we must use 2 steps search for hundreds of movies

first is STANDARD search

then when it gives such irrelevant result

we must add

exact=true

to get better result

this is standard, sir?

apps works with STANDARDs

this is why we got crippled since last month

please send my concern to someone who understands the code and let them judge

again:

I am grateful for your time and care

I really do and I appreciate that

Dinner 2016

I put in main imdb's search and I got this: 

[in Netherlands/seychelles/ukraine servers and israel's home ip]

https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=Dinner%202016&ref_=nv_sr_sm

I can show you many cases

but in brief

please use main site's search

and search

King 2022

Im pretty sure first item will NOT be King 2022 imdb.com/title/tt14073780

instead ; will be tulsa king 2022

this is happening for many cases

thats why I asked to please set exact=true as default

and let search works like 2 months ago and before that

shorter title = rate of error significantly higher

like 

Eat 2014

I certainly see what ArioLandis is reporting, doing a search in the US. The exact match is far down the list on the search preview:

And on the Find page:

@ARIOLands @bderoes -- thank you for the clear aforementioned details. I've passed your specific examples to our team, which is considering ongoing updates to our search feature. I included your recommendation regarding user preference between "exact matches" and "popular matches."
