Yes, it's the old search system and more or less what it used to be the "Exact Primary search" feature of IMDb. Until some years ago, using a special key in the query, it was possible to do a strict search for a match (getting back the searched page if and only if an exact match existed, or an error page otherwise, if I recall correctly). By now, that key is gone: at the time, IMDbPY used it to convert from title/names to IDs. What's "wrong" with your query is that it doesn't work for titles or names containing what we call an imdbIndex (the roman number after the name/title, to distinguish between homonyms). E.g., try to search for "Gibson Mel (I)": http://www.imdb.com/Name?Gibson+Mel+%28I%29 it doesn't present you the page of Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson, but just a list of people named Mel Gibson or something similar. Now, the message of Petite Abeille seems to contradict me somehow, so I suppose I've to do some tests. :-) Bye! -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://www.mimante.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Imdbpy-help mailing list Imdbpy-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/imdbpy-help
