Michael Clayton (2007) not found by API or web search

Searching on the web site or through XBMC this movie will not show up, but if I enter the IMDB ID (tt0465538) at the web site the movie is found, so I can't add it. How do I get XBMC to correctly find and scrape this movie?
Thanks!

Aha, there is something funny with the name "Michael" in the search code.... see thread https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5198a93619c2955c5c262acb
Searching for "Michal Clayton" does find the correct "Michael Clayton" movie. It seems a shame that the correct spelling fails while an incorrect one succeeds.

I'm aware of the issue here, at least in the "Michael" case. I'll get the fix pushed this week.

I've fixed the issue and will push it to the API shortly. Website has already been updated.
