Currently, when searching for a film with a common title (e.g., "It," "Scream," or "The Batman"), the results list can be cluttered with multiple versions, remakes, and unrelated entries.
I would like to request a search enhancement that allows users to append the release year in parentheses (e.g., Movie Name (2026)). This would filter or prioritize results to show only films matching that exact year.
Benefits:
Saves time by eliminating the need to scroll through dozens of irrelevant search results.
Improves accuracy when looking for a specific adaptation or sequel.
Aligns with standard IMDb/TMDB search conventions, making it intuitive for users.
Example:
Searching "It (2017)" should return the 2017 adaptation first, not the 1990 miniseries or other clutter.
Suggested Implementation:
Parse the search query for a
(YYYY)pattern.Apply a year filter to the search results.
Optionally, display the year in autocomplete suggestions.
Thank you for considering this quality-of-life improvement!
