I don't know if this is a glitch or it's by design, anyway here's what I noticed.
When I try to add a movie to a list by using the search box in the Rearrange & Add Items window, the exact matches are not always shown first. For instance, when I searched for "the eagle", The Eagle (1926) [the movie I was actually looking for] was only number 11 in the search results, so it wasn't even on the first screen and I thought it was missing! Actually it's in the second screen, after other movies with similar titles.
Mind you, if I search for "the eagle" in the main Listal search box (not the one in Rearrange & Add), the exact matches are shown first: The Eagle (1926) is the second result just after The Eagle (2011).
Another example: if I look for "the kid" in the "Add to List" search box, I get "The Karate Kid" as the first result. On the contrary, if I use the main Listal search box, the first three results are the exact matches, that is the three movies titled "The Kid".
Also, in the "Rearrange & Add Items" to list Search feature, showing the production Year of each movie would help to tell the right title. Now I only see the title, not the year, and a tiny picture.
One more thing. When I add an item to a list using the search box, it's added as the first item in the list. When I add an item by ticking its check box in My Movies and adding it to a list, then it's added at the end of the list.
Thank you!
