I was looking for the 80's version of "The Secret Garden" on imdb.com and it didn't show up in the search results! I'm definitely loosing faith in that site!

I just sent imdb.com a second more irate message.

It's this one. I'm sorry imdb, when I think of one of my childhood movies that was called "The Secret Garden", forgive me if I don't remember it was called "Hallmark Hall of Fame: The Secret Garden.

IMDB are providing a free, excellent web service. It seems you feel you have a sense of entitlement from IMDB.

If someone emailed me, moron1irate moron1 that my own website search was not returning what they expected, I would tell them to F*CK OFF.

Build your own site if you are not happy! Find out the tens of thousands of hours of labour that would have gone into providing you the free IMDB site.

I feel sorry for the people at IMDB, another target of yours, in your now never ending show of disrespect. I hope they block your access to IMDB. They don't need your kind of feedback or your public complaining about them.

Oh, and I still hope that you learn some manners - it seems your goal is to be increasingly disliked in return.

It's free because volunteers like myself take their own time to tell them how to make the site better. It's MY time that's fucking free. Moron. BTW, I used the word irate just to rattle idiots like yourself. How easily you fall for it and jump to add worthless drivel to a thread at the drop of a hat. Also thanks for not refuting my findings, further proving my point about imdb.

LMFAO You have no idea how business financing works! I bet you still live at home.

I give 'my time for free' feedback to many pay for use sites. I have also given emovieposter site suggestions including for their sales database, where the sales database has been announced will become pay for use.

Chip-Top, you do feel you have entitlement to free access to IMDB's website, and likely any website you care to email suggestions to. You are deluded my friend.

Cool, you admit your posts contain intentional factual lies and you are also trolling.

How IMDB run their site, or decide how their search filter works is their decision. Who is to say they are wrong??? They can filter as they like, for whatever reasons they like.

Its free because the IMDBPro side along with advertising finances the free portion of the site.  If you want better responses to your inquiries, then joining Pro is probably what you want to do.  I am guessing if you do that, they will view your commitment to making them better in a different light.

It sounds like a PEBKAC doesn't it? (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) Or an "ID ten T" (ID10T -> IDIOT) error.

How IMDB's search works is not your choice, despite how entitled you feel. Furthermore, it looks like everyone except you was able to find the movie just fine after you provided them with the proper name of the movie YOU had the title wrong on. Thus making yourself look like even more of an idiot for herp derping it up.

Chop Top - Why are you still here? Honestly. All you do is cause shit on the forums, despite how obviously you're going to tell me you feel you contribute, and quite frankly no one here wants it. Get a life, stop trying to make yourself look cool in a digital world and just grow up. You look like a fool and when someone points it out, they are the ones at fault. Your logic is far from sound. If you had any brains I think you'd go home and rethink your life.

I've yet to hear a single logical response (as usual) to why a search for "The Secret Garden" does not show a movie called "The Secret Garden" in its search results regardless if it's an episode of some 50 year old anthology series or not. You Ad Hominem fucks need to learn how to debate the topic at hand.

Stew, my initial search had no date because I didn't know the date. Later, once I found the date out via YouTube, I added it to the search and the episode still didn't show up, not even under partial matches.

Good question, Paul.
Steve (50s) has quite an assortment of these li'l smiley devils and I try to pick 'em up whenever he posts 'em.
There might be an easier way, but this is what I do.
Hover over desired smiley; right click save image to a desktop folder; upload to my photobucket; post img code just as I would do when I post one of my poster pics.
Badda-bing, she be done.

Got ya,
When i come up against a brick wall,i usually do a few searches on Google,but it could be any engine..
I try dates,actors, anything.. you know this method..
Is your search TV or Movie related?,maybe IMDB isnt the best place to search for TV episodes?
Once I have a good idea of what im looking for,thats when i try IMDB or YT.to get the video..
Good luck searching!  Wink
