I don't know—it works for me.

This plugin uses the provided API to retrieve data. If it's like it's sister site TheTVDb, it's probably not searching the live site, but using a provided data file. If so, that might not be up-to-date. Or they may intentionally exclude movies that haven't been verified by enough people (note it has no rating and 0 votes). But that doesn't explain why it works for me. :-\

Don't expect TheMovieDb to ever be anything like IMDb. I can't imagine anyone using as a preferred source, and if you use both, you should be careful about mixing credits data. It may have bits of data you prefer, like it's overviews, posters or fan art.

If I say, "It works for me," you may assume I tested it immediately before posting.
