I discovered this by having problems myself to import some TV shows data in XMM8, and trying to fix the issues. I repeat that the problems explained in the following lines are [b][red]on the IMDB site ![/red][/b] I'm waiting for their answer ... [i][font=Verdana][blue] Search by title only in "advanced search" gives strange results Point 1 : If i use the advanced search by completing the title field only (in my case, it was "Law & Order"), no criteria about top 10 of so, the '&' causes problems (special symbol used by HTML to "post" replies). So my search criteria becomes "law" ... en there are a lot of matching data ... ! The "&" has to be encoded in another way background when it's a real data and no HTML symbol. This happens in many places. I didn't check for other symbols. '&' has to be used if you want to find "Law & Order" exactly ... When "law & order" is used in the main search field for a title search (I mean the big one on the main page), i've got many results. But if i want to filter them with the "Exact title matches", there again the '&' gives an issue because on my next page i read "Displaying 10 results for 'law'" - my "& order" has disappaered (same problem as before). Point 2 : In advanced search, i search again "Law & Order" but this time with 2 title types checked : "TV Series" and "Mini-Series" (to be sure i've got all) : this time the "&" gives no issue but the result is : - Law & Order Special Victims Unit: Russia (???) (i'm logged from Belgium - is it something that we ignore about our status :-) ?) - Law & Order (1990 TV Series) - OK for this one with Sam Waterston - Law & Order (1978 Mini-Series) (???) - no idea That's all I don't get "Law & Order SVU" (the non russian one), i don't get "Law & Order L.A."[/font=Verdana][/blue][/i] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
