Hi, I'm looking for possibility search movies by titles first letters.
For example when I query "ki" I expect to get
{ "Kill Bill Vol. 1", "Kill Bill Vol. 2", ... }
but now the API returns
{ "My Name Is Ki", "Killing Them Softly", "Kick-Ass", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", ... }
How my problem can be solved?

Type more letters. Also, is the problem that Kill Bill features on the list and it just doesn't appear first or does it not appear at all? Bear in mind that if you type "ki" into imdb, it won't suggest Kill Bill or Kill Bill 2. It will however suggest Killing Them Softly. I think the main problem is that no one has a good guess of what you want after 2 letters. Google has never guessed what I'm after, after two letters, so I doubt anyone would expect your query to.
