Improve the search algorithm
The search needs to be smarter and prioritized. Example: If you search "Secret of My Success", the Michael J. Fox movie is not returned because one of the S's is a dollar sign. With only one character off, the algorithm should return the movie as a result.

Today I noticed that your search feature allows me to search by director (Ex. type in Hitchcock and Rear Window, etc. shows up). This is a problem when searching for movie titles like "Lincoln" or "Hitchcock". Searching "Lincoln" returns "Model Wife" as the first result (directed by Fred J. Lincoln). You could add a dropdown box next to search window to indicate whether the user intent is search by title or by director (default search should go to title). Alternatively, only allow search by title since this would cover 99% of all searches.
One more peculiar thing is that if you type a word and wait with cursor after last letter a set of search results will appear. Add a space and the results change. Backspace to the original position and a 3rd set of DIFFERENT results often appears. This is weird.
