I am also having this issue, for me it’s happening with “Music” events, aka concerts. Two examples [Trakt Web: Track Your Shows & Movies](https://app.trakt.tv/movies/arch-enemy-live-apocalypse-2006?mode=movie) and [Trakt Web: Track Your Shows & Movies](https://app.trakt.tv/movies/arch-enemy-as-the-stages-burn-2017?mode=movie)  
They don’t show up in my history or on the site search itself, I had to look up a member of the band under people and then from there I found them.
