The Movie Database Support

I am guessing because of date alone but how does "X-Men: First Class 35mm Special" have a higher priority the "X-Men: First Class"?

How does refine better search results or more exact?

I believe it should be implemented soon.

Don't know how Trello works but all of those are listed Done. Does that mean updates have been released?

Indeed, if a feature is in the "Done" list, it's been implemented.

2 out of the 3 mentioned are now done. https://trello.com/c/wcdLCaX1/118-add-language-filters-to-search is still on backlog.

I believe the reason your issue is still present isn't just because of the release date but rather because of popularity. For some reason, "X-Men: First Class 35mm Special" has higher popularity than "X-Men: First Class" which probably triggers that behavior. You can read more about that here.

I do however, find it exceedingly difficult to justify such a large and consistent difference in the numbers (for future reference 12000 to 63000), other than the aforementioned release date (which plays a role in calculating popularity) so maybe there is something misbehaving here.
