Pre-emptive text - frustrating

Sat May 28, 2011 1:03 am

I find the auto anticpating feature when entering titles extremely frustrating. Especially when I am looking for a ONE WORD title, such as "boy" and "unknown" - it won't let me choose one word, it always adds another one and then gives me an entire list of movies that DON'T even start with same letter. Besides that issue, I find it overall annoying with its preemptive text, i find it very confusing when it pops letters on same line that are NOT what i want. if it must presume, could it only do it BELOW the line I'm typing on? Please. thank you.

along the same line, any title with an apostrophe in it is impossible for me to find. (That's what i am).

It gives you the list of all the movies that contain that word. In the rare case where the movie you search has a one word title, and it's a common word, yes it's true, you have to go down the list of results (they're in alphabetical order, so it's not too hard to find your movie).

The program prevents you from making a search that would yield zero results.

If the letters are added on the same line, that points to the first possible word starting with the letters you've typed in.

The string search is based on words. Any punctuation mark or apostrophe is considered as the same thing as a space.

If you type "wayne's world" on your keyboard, you'll get the right result.

Simply the apostrophe will be interpreted as a space
=> the search box will contain only the words
=> "wayne s world".

thanks.
i couldn't test the apostrophe thing b/c the movie i want to find isn't on your list. i'll put a request into missing movie list (That's What I am).

In fact, the movie "That's What I am (2011)" is already in the database.

Type "That's What I am" or "That s What I am", and you'll find it.
