Please give me some exemples. I want exemples. I need exemples. For the moment, none of your exemples were meaningful.
But don't expect miracles if you name your files like a pig

Please don't say that. I'm ok to improve the algorithm if you give me a good exemple. But don't expect the algorithm to magically fix your typos for you.

Windows won't allow the ":" character. But the program recognizes perfectly "3 10 to Yuma" or "3.10 to Yuma". What's your file named ?

It's not at all a problem of dot vs. space.
There's simply no movie in our database named "La Dernière Fugue".
In this case, the algorithm matches the most popular movie that matches the longest string.
longest string => "la dernière".
most popular movie starting with "la dernière" => "la dernière femme".

I am precisely giving examples of the situations where i think that your search should have better results,and, as a code-aware person, I try to make suggestions. But every time you seem to be upset.
So, please, lean back, relax and try to take advantage of my remarks and do not rebuff them bluntly.

Please try to understand what I'm saying, and take some time before rushing to your keyboard.;-)

I DO NOT think "the algorithm" handles properly accented letters.

You would save trouble for you (and your users).

You're amazing ! You really don't realize how agressive your post was ?
You said that the algorithm worked like a pig, that it could not recognize accented letters, dots, underscores, hyphens, that it added the files again, etc... All of this which is completely not true.
You nicknamed it "El Algorithmo".
Watch your attitude and I'll watch my attitute. I use to be a calm and polite person, but considering all the time I spend developping this program and giving support for free, I can't be blamed for been upset by your attitude.
