Your system doesn't react normally.
The first answer, 0, is when I asked your system if it could find the letter 'ß' in a word that doesn't contain that letter.
0 means that your computer thought that the first letter was a 'ß', which is rubbish.
Everytime I check if a word contains the letter 'ß', I get garbage.

There's no way I can make your system detect correctly the letter 'ß'.
The only thing I can do is prevent the program from crashing.
Please replace your current Coollector.exe with this one:

The only thing is restriction is that you won't be able to type in "ss" instead of "ß".

Yes, it's a german letter, but some movie titles from our database contain that letter.
When a title contains that letter, it receives a special treatment, because "ß" is equivalent to "ss".
Problem is that your system thinks that all the titles contain that letter => I have no way to really detect that letter.

The program works fine.
Thank you very much for all your effort.
What will happen the next time there will be an update ?

why the program froze only after the second word - aren't any titles with the special letter in the first word ?

I'm afraid it's a bit too complex to explain why the bug happens only after the second word. But don't worry, I take care of all the cases

I've been watching this and dying with laughter (sorry Hector
)
I'm glad to see It's finally resolved. But seriously Hebrew? who woulda thought that'd be the common denominator?

Thankfully eorenstain has been patient enough to locate the version that introduced the bug!
