Limited search results

[Paschalis Veskos]

Hello,

may i add my opinion on this. I use tellico for bibliographies and there it
is quite common to have a single individual appear as author of many (100+)
works. I would prefer i) to see how many results the search has returned,
ii) a drop-down box to select how many results per page to display (25, 50,
100 etc) and iii) a 'continue' button to get more results. What do you
think?

Well, I think a continue button, or a selection for how many results to
show would be best. Otherwise you would have to search IMDB manually,
get the names, then do a Tellico title search.

Christopher Lee has appeared in over 250 films, individual TV episodes
not even counted. Must be some kind of record that. Klaus Kinski 130+.
John Ford even directed over 150 movies.

So if you were looking for one of these people, you need a large result
list, or else you would spend a lot of time copying titles manually
from IMDB.

No, I mean in the Internet search dialog where you enter the person or
title. It's quite useful for person searches, which you tend to do
repeatedly over time.
