I wonder if it would be possible to optimize the search for people information using the according IMDB script when at least one IMDB movie title for the person is already known?
The search string would look like this:
hXXp://www.imdb.com/search/name?name=FirstName%20LastName&role=tt#######
In most cases the movie <-> people relation will exist so the IMDB movie ID should be known (like when I call <Edit> from the Cast & Crew tab of the Movie Edit window). Question is if the information can be passed somehow to MagicScript.
My current experience is that people search results are rather vary - even in cases where a 1:1 match should be possible.
Update: the failing 1:1 matching I could improve a bit by using exact name search:
#WEBQUERY#=hXXp://akas.imdb.com/find?q=#NAME#&s=nm&exact=true&ref_=fn_nm_ex
