IMDb Search Suggestions

[Dexwell]

I've completely rebuilt redwall_hp's original IMDB Search Suggest workflow to include more information in results, a fallback for longer search queries using a cache, and a new icon. I've also changed the keyword to i but you can easily change that to imdb or whatever you like. I hope you'll enjoy!

Nice.

If you could include movie rating would be awesome.

Thanks. Unfortunately, IMDb's suggests API doesn't provide rating information, so I can't do that

Looks nice. I was meaning to find away around the 4-5 character limitation of the API, but it looks like you've beat me to it. It looks like you might have broken the fallback search I had for queries that don't match a suggestion. (If you search for something bogus like "\" for example. In mine you could hit enter and go to an IMDB search page for the term.)

 

I'll review your code soon and see if I can merge it into my repo.

For some reason I get access denied errors (when sniffing the http response from json). Is this because the API is being sniffed too fast?
