Why are my search requests limited to 20 responses. Also, how can I search for movies by wildcard ('Co*), e.g How do discover and find and search differ? I'm so confused.

thanks for the info and the links. Is it possible to query having 'Co' be matched to the beginning of the title? or only ANYWHERE in the title? (diff b/w 'Commando' and 'The Maltese Falcon')

Hi caveman923,
We do not support toggling between "edge ngrams" and just "ngrams". The more you type the more accurate the results become.
Cheers.

wow travis, i don't know about this functionality. I was going to go heavy handed and build my own list (year by year) and sort it myself. what is this 'list of titles that I can narrow down by typing'?
sounds like what I need - don't want to reinvent the wheel.
