Ice Age - THE meltdown (2006) etc. exactly as it appears on a search result, Shortening/Lazy the legit names will almost guarantee a miss match whether it be advanced search or standard. If there is a title with the year, and you did a search with the year as a separate query field in the advanced section, then how much closer could you get, sheez. So your argument is really biased.Dear edhen, if everyone who uses XBMC would be so smart and wise as you are, then yes, your logic would work, but this is not the case. People have wrong file names and they are entitled to get search results as well. My argument is not biased. XBMC is doing a reasonable good job in correcting such mistakes and already taking the year into consideration.

Advanced search will either show the correct title or it will display none (you even answered that yourself "...it doesn't give results for 'Ice Age Meltdown'"), your argument that people will get the wrong movie titles is completely incorrect.Probably it's my English, but when you were saying 'advanced search will almost guarantee a match', then this for me means that advanced search in itself guarantees a match without falling back to normal search. Your statement would be only true if people had 100% correct folder/ file names.

Then you claim in earlier posts that it has nothing to do with regular expressions and it was an xbmc issue as such, but your last post claims an update in regards to regexp, which i have tested btw and seemed too have worked for the mentioned title.
