Up until today, the quick search box in Movie Connect (and the CLZ Cloud viewer for movie) only searched in the Title, Year, Barcode and Tags fields. Pretty limited, but necessary for performance reasons.
However, with the new search engine we created last year, it became possible to search more fields while keeping the search super-fast. So lets use that capability!
From now on, if you use the search box, it will also search in many more fields. The complete lists of fields that are now searched:
- Title
- Title Extension
- Original Title
- Series
- Episode Titles
- Year
- Barcode
- Plot
- Notes
- Tags
Example: searching for “hogwarts” will return all Harry Potter movies, because the word appears in the plot summary:
