Description
I've found that imdb.pl lookups in 0.21-fixes don't always work. The search often returns empty, and I'm prompted to enter the data manually or enter the number manually. (to workaround the issue, I do the search manually on imdb.com and enter the # myself)
Some examples:
There's Something About Mary
Superhero Movie
Testing from the command line:
imdb.pl -M "There's Something About Mary"
(returns nothing)
But leaving off "There's" returns movie titles.
I thought perhaps the apostrophe was the issue, but "Superhero Movie" has no puctuation in it (other than the space), and the title is returned if I search for just "Superhero".
A 2nd, and probably un-related issue is that the cover art times out about 20% of the time. A 2nd search always pulls it in immediately though.
Can't reproduce this.
