looking up titles with parenthesis yield no results

Hi,
Some titles containing parenthesis will not return any results although the exact title (as used in the TMDb entry) is used. e.g. searching for "(T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1" won't give any results at all while the movie is listed here:
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9805-t-raumschiff-surprise-periode-1
Same goes for "Intolerable Cruelty"; german title: "Ein (un)möglicher Härtefall" no results, but http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/11775-intolerable-cruelty?language=de is of course listed.
Cheers, chili

With regards to "(T)raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1" this is something that will require a fair bit more investigation. Seems like our search server just doesn't want to find it. I have no idea why. I've created a new ticket for this.
With regards to "Intolerable Cruelty ", there's a known issue with searching for translated titles.
