IMDb may be an okay business to look up information on actors, actresses, movies, tv shows, etc. but that’s it.

I really encourage sane people not to post at the message boards. It will turn you insane and you waste a lot of time fighting trolls on the message boards.

They promote cyber bullying, trolling, stalking, etc. and aren’t like the CW boards who make sure the environment isn’t a bad one so people can actually post.

IMDb also attempts to get rid of the real customers of that site, or at least the message boards, and keep most of the trolls there.

i live in china where there are many websites blocked by what is sometimes referred to as “the great firewall”. being an avid imdb user, i was really bummed out when the gov’t recently blocked this site from the country’s internet. i read that installing this “add-on” (the first i have ever installed) would be a way to access imdb indirectly, somehow.
this is where i got the advice:

i seem to have installed the add-on feature as it does appear when i right-click. but nothing loads- neither a new tab, nor does one i have already open re-load or anything.
can someone please tell me what i’m doing wrong?
does anyone know?

help.

Just add IMDB to the list of search engines in the “Context Search” extension for FireFox.

That way all you have to do is right-click…no typing.

Tons of other search engines for “Context Search” can be found @ http://mycroft.mozdev.org/

That’s another idea firefox steal from Opera, years ago, you can add your own search to Opera, like IMDB, or your favorite blog, or wathever you want, then you just right clic the movie title, actor or other info and select search with imdb, here you go, i use this years ago, is not new. or exclusive to firefox addons, Opera is the most mature, proffesional and innovative browser out there, sorry firefox fanboys.

@nero
Thanks for that; though I’m a regular visitor at IMDB for quite some yrs, I hear this for the 1st time. Definetely trying it out, as I don’t like having a lot of add-ons in Firefox.

The add-on is been up only for a few days as an experimental one and has zero user comments; will have to wait & see how it goes.

It’s much easier than installing an additional firefox add-on

- go to any IMDB page
- right click inside the search box
- Select “add keyword for this search” (I used “i”, without the quotes)

Now all you have to do is hit “CTRL-T” to open up a new tab. The cursor will focus into the URL bar and you simply type “i actor/title/series”, again without the quotes.

examples:

i costner
i district9

IMDB will immediately load up either a search results page if it couldn’t isolate one response to the query, or in the event of the 2nd example, it will directly load up the movie’s home page.
