Technically, it would be easy to add an IMDb search feature. But I don't see how this feature could be useful.
The only use I can think of, is when you request a movie to be added, to make sure that it's not a movie already in the database. But in fact, when a user requests a movie already in the database, I take this opportunity to understand what went wrong and improve the database. Was is a missing aka ? Or something else that I could fix ?
It is another reason to include IMDB search, when one movie has many name, It is easy to know that if this one included into our collector (I know it is yours, so I am sorry) or not... so in this case no need to search with other common name, We just report that this item is not available. then with your next update, you can arrange....and do not forget, the user has now many option to search, IMDB option one of them...(Last time I have report for (Winter's bone) And I could not see it, same for our collector search your movie, could not see it, I was writing winters instead of winter's.
Again when someone report about a movie, they will not report in any name, they just copy the link to IMDB, and you do the rest
Any way, I know you will do it, maybe not now, but believe you will do it..
