Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Movie Search
How does Movie Search work?
Movie Search uses advanced natural language processing to understand your movie descriptions. When you type a query, our AI analyzes the semantic meaning—not just keywords—and matches it against plot summaries, themes, and metadata from over 700,000 movies in our database.
Is Movie Search free to use?
Yes! You can search for free with up to 3 searches per day without signing up, or 5 searches per day with a free account. We offer a Pro subscription for users who want 50 searches per day, faster results, and additional features like bookmarking movies and search history. All search limits reset daily at UTC 00:00:00.
Where does the movie data come from?
Our movie database is compiled from multiple trusted sources including major film databases, user reviews, professional critic scores, detailed plot synopses, cast and crew information, and production metadata. We regularly update our catalog to include new releases and ensure accuracy across all data points.
Can I find movies in languages other than English?
Absolutely! Our database includes movies from around the world. You can search in English and find films in any language. The AI understands plot descriptions regardless of the original film language.
Why can't I find a specific movie?
While we have 700,000+ titles, some very obscure or recent releases might not be in our database yet. Try describing the plot differently, or use more specific details. If you know the exact title, a direct title search might help.
How is this different from regular movie search?
Traditional search requires you to know the title, actor, or director. Movie Search lets you search by describing what happens in the movie, the themes, or even vague memories of plot elements. It's like having a movie expert friend who's seen everything.
What's included in the Pro subscription?
Pro subscribers get 50 searches per day (vs 3 for anonymous users or 5 for free accounts), priority processing for faster results, the ability to bookmark and save movies to watchlists, search history tracking, and priority customer support. Search limits reset daily at UTC 00:00:00. Plans start at $2.99/month.
Can I cancel my Pro subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your profile settings. Your Pro benefits will continue until the end of your current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial periods.
How can I get better search results?
Be specific! Instead of "action movie," try "action movie where the hero has to save their family from kidnappers." Mention plot points, themes, time periods, or character types. The more context you provide, the better our AI can match your request.
