Tiny prob with DVDaf...

I always knew I'd have this problem with their search engine. I just got the Crawford boxset and - as always - went to enter the titles individually. All is good, but I can't enter The Women. When I type it in (set to r1 only) it says there are too many results and it is only displaying the first 200. Unfortunately, it's not on the first 200! Maybe someone could send me their list with this movie on it so I can put it on mine (I'd be curious how you got it on there in the first place, though...)?

If you do a search for the IMDB ID Number in DVDAF, it'll find the movie. So just find it at IMDB and then copy and paste the ID number from the URL in.

type /women/ in the search box. The first / means the title has to start with the word following it (minus "The, A" etc.) and the last / means that's the end word of the title.

If I run into this problem, I usually just search for another movie the director has done, click his name (to the right of any listing, there will be a link with the director's name) and that brings up a listing of all DVD's with the specified director's name attached. This works for practically everybody short of Hitchcock. For example, when I couldn't find "Pi," I searched for "Requiem for a Dream," clicked Aronofsky's name, and scrolled down until I found "Pi."

Just another option (since I can never seem to remember the whole /title/ thing).

Thanks. That comes in quite handy, since I always seemed to end up with hundreds of titles when I do a search.
