Is it possible to improve Trakt search?

On starting a reply I have a window come up that says “This topic has been solved” Oh, I don’t think so, at least not for me.

Out of interest I tried this out (before replying and seeing the message) and I copied the titles in to TMDB and they came up straight away I then tried on Trakt and got everything but. Films with “holiday”, films with “march” etc etc.
To me this would lead me to believe that the film input “The March of Time: G-Men at War” was NOT on Trakt (if I have input it correctly, according to TMDB, and it doesn’t come up in the first few then what’s the point of scrolling through all the other ones that did come up just to see if it did come up under some obscure name.
So for me the “solution” (what ever that might be as not in the thread) does not work.

Yes, it’s been 10 days now and the result is still the same, so the new punctuation handling didn’t seem to have the desired effect on cases like this. I retried the search, pasting exactly the TMDB title into the search field:
The March of Time: Policeman’s Holiday
The movie in question is nowhere to be found (I can find it somewhere in the middle of the result list be restricting the year to 1949 and the runtime to 20-25 minutes). However, it is indeed on the site under that title:

Search still has a ways to go. This topic does not deserve to be marked as Solved.

Exact titles have been covered but searching for more general queries is really bad. For example, searching for “WWE” brings up this

“Star Wars” has results for Lego movies before the actual movies which appear after scrolling down

VIPs can opt in to a new “experimental” search engine in the settings. Please let me know if the accuracy is better with this new engine.

Doing the same test,

WWE:

Star Wars:

Star Wars is still a little weird but overall much better.

Just checking is the new experimental search web only or also used on the app? (@Ohifriend)
