Simple movie search and then movie content search

Finding the documentation a little strange and cant find any examples of json and javascript where you search by a movie name. I have tried to search by movie name which works but then in the search results I see there is id of the movie which I try to get the movies full content. but it doesnt return anything.
Here is an example of a jQuery and Json movie search (http://jsfiddle.net/fewds/srdHD/3/) how would I ammend the following for a movie content search - from the fiddle's results

Once you have an ID, you can make a full detail request (550 being the id):
I have another little example you can see here, although it's just a search as well.

What method would you use to get partial movie/tv names? IMDB if you were to search "sou" it live results with South Park and Source Code

Ah thanks! Im a bit jealous of how your websites search works and categorizes things by movies and people etc
