Hi fedorzima,

This is a currently known issue. I'm in the middle of completely re-writing search and when this goes live, all non English character searches will start working again.

OK, thank you!

Mr. Bell, could you pls also add possibility to search long named titles in Russian? 'cause in previous version of search (when it worked) we had to shorten film's title, throwing last one or two words, to get normal search result via API. i.e. if I had file name "Гарри Поттер и философский камень" - I had no matching via API search, so I had to shorten file's name to "Гарри Поттер и философский" to get film's matching...

Can you give this a try now? Should be working as expected.

It seems now search works fine. BTW It's OK if I enter "matri" and not getting results?

Confirm, works fine, including long named Russian titles, thank you... Except one thing, if you have 2 films with same title, namely "Anna Karenina", you are getting only one added to media library, even if you add production year to title...

BTW It's OK if I enter "matri" and not getting results?

If you're referring to partial word matching, check the API docs and read up about the new search_type parameter. You'll want to use ngram searching.

even if you add production year to title…

How are you entering the year? With the ?year= parameter?

Original query (has both)

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=Anna+Karenina

Query to find the first one:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=Anna+Karenina&year=2012

Query to find the second one:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###query=Anna+Karenina&year=1997

Cheers.

Hi there!

I will try to get info about this person on English and Russian language, but got different results.

English http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=XXX&query=Sergey%20Bodrov

Russian http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=XXX&query=%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9%20%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2

We don't support translating English to Russian, or vice versa. Whatever content is added as a name to a person is what you can search for.

You could get around this once I hook up the "also known as" feature on people. Once that works, you could add both names to a person and find them in either Russian or English.
