Default Search Algorithm Improvement Request
Hi, first of all, thanks for such a great platform. It's really fun to be able to integrate all my tracking into one place.
But I'm having problems with the default search results. First I stumbled upon this problem when I tried the search for The Thing (1982). Result was really bad. Then I tried to reproduce it with something more popular, and tried The Godfather (1972). The result is horrible. The Godfather, which is ranked at number 2 on this platform, shown as the 80th search result when I type the exact name of it. I have to switch the "sort by" option to Movie rank, which is annoying since I shouldn't have to do that to find such an obvious result with the default algorithm.
There is an "exact match" option too and it shows how bad the result it. When I toggle "exact match" only 8 results remain and The Godfather is at 7th. (8th one, the only one it actually surpassed, is an entry with no information or cover image)
I searched for "The Terminator" too, when I type the exact name of the movie, it's shown as 62nd search result even though it's ranked as 410 in movies. A movie called "Angry Planet" (2008) (movie rank 300k) is ranked higher than The Terminator, at 53rd spot.
I believe the default "Relevance" algorithm could use some major improvements. The weight of the release date could be decreased, or the weight of the movie's overall rank/popularity could be increased.
