Sure, I guess from your and Marcus' replies, something needs to be done with 
that. To tell you the truth, the searching by person was an after-thought. 
I expected most people to search by title, wanting to add something they 
already knew they had, rather than needed to get all 100 movies that 
Christopher Lee has been in. :)

Some of the data sources don't support continuation. I know most z39.50 
servers, for instance, have a max number of results, server-side.

But I'll see if I can get something in there.
Thanks for your feedback.
