Item: Blue

Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Design_issue

Extra Details: This movie doesn't show up on search results. And it also affects APIs that need to search for movies based on titles and years. It's affecting other movies as well. I'll report those with similar descriptions as I discover them.

I've tried to search for this movie directly via our API (title "Blue", year=2018) and it is in fact returned correctly as 11th match of 92. So AFAIK the problem isn't on our end:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&language=en-US&query=Blue&page=1&include_adult=false&year=2018

returns:

{  
  "page": 1,  
  "total_results": 92,  
  "total_pages": 5,  
  "results": [  
  ...   
 {  
      "popularity": 0.6,  
      "id": 641401,  
      "video": false,  
      "vote_count": 0,  
      "vote_average": 0,  
      "title": "Blue",  
      "release_date": "2018-08-24",  
      "original_language": "en",  
      "original_title": "Blue",  
      "genre_ids": [],  
      "backdrop_path": "/jXuq37dUpBINhko6FKeJpA3waBL.jpg",  
      "adult": false,  
      "overview": "Based on true events- A young woman struggles to piece her world together after a botched suicide attempt.",  
      "poster_path": "/lHKkEMcpDHosDOC0TsozBoyXRSF.jpg"  
    },  
   ...  
  ]  
}

You can achieve the same result when you search for this title using our web search:

Also, there's some improvements I'd like to find time for around matching exact titles better. It's a known issue.
