Hi all,
since some time the IMDb has a new behavior, showing the results for
too common persons' names (e.g.: try searching the "Band" surname):
http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=Band&nm=on&mx=20
it will show a page that says that there are more than 500 results,
and a link to get the whole bunch of results.
Unfortunately the complete list is far too long to be useful, and
it's also too big to be downloaded by a portable device.
Actually, searching for such a generic name using IMDbPY will
return _no matches_ at all. :-/
I've tried playing with the query parameters, but without luck;
does anyone knows a way to search for such a generic surname
and get a _short_ list with the best X (lets say that X is 20 or
another configurable parameter) matches?
PS: I've committed in the CVS, the first changes to support minor
modifications to the series' pages.
