Hi!
Hmmm... funny thing.
Not sure why, but these are the facts: doing an usual search on the
web site, you'll get a list which first lists Exact Matches and
after that Partial Matches [1]. Performing a search using IMDbPY,
you get first Popular Titles and after that (in an Other Results
sub-section) the Exact Matches and the Partial Matches.
I can think of two causes:
1. IMDbPY uses the akas.imdb.com server; maybe it handles queries
in a slightly different way.
2. one of the search preferences set for the IMDbPYweb's account
triggers this behavior.
I don't consider this exactly a bug, even if I agree that in some
circumstances the results can looks a bit odd.
If this results too annoying, you can do some tests using another
account and then use it (for both 'http' and 'mobile' data access system),
using the cookie_id and cookie_uu parameters of the do_adult_search
method [2].
If the problem is with the used server, it can be changed at
run-time, overriding the imdb.imdbURL_find variable, like this:
import imdb
imdb.imdbURL_find = 'http://MYPREFERREDSERVER.imdb.com/find?'
ia = imdb.IMDb('http')
results = ia.search_movie('title to search')
...
Thank you for the report!
Oh, if you want to do some experiments, the query used by IMDbPY
is in the format:
http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;mx=20;q=TITLE+TO+SEARCH+FOR
+++
[1] I've to check if this is true also doing a title only search,
and not a generic search as I've done.
[2] yeah, yeah: this portion of code should be moved outside, in
a set_cookie method. :-)
Anyway, this is an example:
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb('http')
ia.do_adult_search(True, cookie_id=YOUR_ID_STRING,
cookie_uu=YOUR_UU_STRING)
results = ia.search_movie('title to search')

Re: [Imdbpy-devel] allo allo
Oh and you made a typo here imdb.imdbURL_find = 'http://MYPREFERREDSERVER.imdb.com/findhttp://mypreferredserver.imdb.com/find ?' it should be imdb.imdbURL_find = 'http://MYPREFERREDSERVER.imdb.com/findhttp://mypreferredserver.imdb.com/find ?%s' (just if someone else wants to try this on the mailinglists) - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hello I did found something that wasn't resolved in CVS. When I look for 'allo allo' on the IMDb website the series are in first place. When I look for 'allo allo' with imdbpy I get the movie 'Gone with the wind'. Any idea why this happens? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
