[REQ] metadata search improvements
« on: March 02, 2025, 03:12:27 am »

a few possibly small items

1) make the search list bigger (let it take a larger %age of the space), see attached for example, it is harder than it needs to be to skim the list
2) allow for additional filter fields, by year or range of years in particular would be useful (e.g. how themoviedb has this line on their site "You can use the 'y:' filter to narrow your results by year. Example: 'star wars y:1977'") and also by source, for example it would be nice if you could search for a title and then it populated a few multiselect boxes with the actual years in the resultset + the sources so you could filter further
3) improve how foreign (not english) language films are handled, e.g. I was just searching for https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/44018-sans-toit-ni-loi?language=en-GB but just searching for vagabond (https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=vagabond&language=en-GB) without any other filter (such as year) means that it's well down the list

I have implemented a more interactive search previously in some other app so I thought a demo of what I mean might be helpful, this is more responsive because the data is all local whereas you have remote lookups to do but I still think something of this nature would be nicer to use
