Why I canot find movie by non-English title? E.g. the movie "Čekej do tmy"
I cannot find a movie by its Czech name. I search for "Čekej do tmy" and I get "No results".
Funny thing is that the movie exists https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062467/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 and has exactly the same title.
And it is not just this movie, there are more of them...

As far as I experienced so far, when you search a movie with a title different than the original (ie a title in a foreign language), in many cases you don't see it in the dropdown preview of the search bar and you get the "No results" text in red.
However, if you press enter, you immediately find the title in the search page.

@bodlamar A quick update on this. The search team is aware of the issue, thanks again, and there is a plan to address it in a future update which is in development at the moment, but it is not a case of a simple quick bug fix.

That's an interesting one, since the title "Čekej do tmy" is actually listed as an alternate.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062467/releaseinfo
(partial list)
I'm surprised the character Č is in there, since I've been unable to add new titles or names with such a character recently. For instance, Antonín Dvořák is listed as Antonín Dvorák on IMDb, without the ř.

@bodlamar Thanks for reporting this. We will take a look. As explained in the details below, the suggestion search needs some tuning for extended character sets.
@Peter_pbn / @bderoes Thanks for the extra details. The background here is that we have significantly expanded suggestion search via a recent upgrade. As Peter notes, the Č is causing a problem here, however, if you type: "Cekej do tmy" the search suggestion does still find Wait Until Dark via the Czech AKA (which is much better than it used to be).
