The Movie Database Support

Is it possible to suggest movie titles when searching for one much like you when you use Google searching? For example, If I am looking for the movie JAWS it returns me a list of films it think might be the one I want.

Obviously the more letters I type the closer the results will be. So in my example with the movie JAWS, once I have entered those four letters then it would return JAWS and also suggest JAWS 2, JAWS 3 & JAWS 4 etc. in a drop down list below the search input box? Then I can click on the suggestion to be taken to the specific page for that movie.

Hi juzza,

Take a look at the search_type param and setting it to ngram. All of the search params are available in the docs: http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#search

If you have an iPhone, you can see a good implementation of this by grabbing TodoMovies 3.
