I don't plan to add keywords to our database. I don't plan to search the descriptions either.

Already in 2011 I knew I wouldn't add those features:

All our searches are instant. I don't want to add a search that would take dozens of seconds (maybe more depending on your computer speed). Furthermore, never in my life I've found a movie based on keywords. It's a very complex feature that would be hardly used => not worth it.

Anything keywords-related you have to use the tag feature.

I don't want to judge you, but it's creepy :P

The IMDb does it. You just have to set the search type to "keywords". It can work with multiple keywords at the same time!

https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?keywords=serial-killer%2Cbased-on-true-story&sort=moviemeter,asc&mode=detail&page=1&ref_=kw_ref_key

You can further filter by genre, by year, by IMDb rating, etc...
