Difficulty finding and adding shows with generic or often used title? #56

Closed haverholm closed 6 years ago

haverholm commented 6 years ago

I want to thank the developers for a terrific and convenient app, this makes tracking all my (possibly excessive) TV watching so much easier. The single problem I've encountered was trying to add a recent show that has a nonspecific title (Taboo, 2017) which only resulted in two hits, none of them correct.

Whether this is specific to that one show or relates to the fact that the title is pretty nondescript I don't know – on the other hand, the intended result ranks in the top five on both IMDb and TheTVDb where I assumed the app pulls its searches from.

I'm kind of stumped what causes this, hopefully someone can clear this up and – best case scenario – iron out the bug?

I know, the search API isn't the best. Might be improved with TheTVDB's new API. I just tried "Taboo (2017)" (without quotes) and found the show. Good luck!

Good to know, thanks for the quick reply! I'm fine with less than perfect search functions if I know to input more exact queries.
