Your post seems to be missing some information. What do you mean by scan? Are you using an unnamed third-party app? If so, read their documentation to see how you can improve the search and/or bypass it and search/match by TMDB ID instead.

You can find the films easily enough on TMDB. Adding the year of the movie to the search is going to render better results, especially when the title is very generic.

Breaking In: https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Breaking%20In%20y%3A1989

Elvis Presley's movies are on his people profile: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/21457-elvis-presley

Girls! Girls! Girls!: https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Girls!%20Girls!%20Girls!%20y%3A1962

The same film search with the API should return the same results: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-movie

No, like this: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=girls!+girls!+girls!&api_key=xxxxxx

OK, in that case, they are thousands of movies with "Girls" in their title. Adding the year of release for the search should render better results:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=girls!+girls!+girls!&api_key=xxxxxx&primary_release_year=1962

I however do not use the API myself and I'm not qualified to advise on it. If you need further help, I can move you to the API Support section.

Yes, just noticed that there are 211 pages in the response. I'll have to come up with a Paginate feature as I don't always know the year of the film from the code.
