@ltfearme not sure how much you want to fix the scraper-scripts caught in the search, but please find time to fix the NFO and search node populator.
damienhaynes/moving-pictures (moron GitHub online search filters out a search like "\d{7}" on online search, but local git search works, still "tt" finds most references online)
IMDb is starting to use more and more 8-digit tt-IDs, and this causes issues due to clipping when \d{7} is used.
Easy fix would be to mass-replace \d{7} into \d{7,8} which would only allow 7-digit and 8-digit IMdb tt-IDs, as I'll be dead by the time IMDb uses 9-digits
Example that fails = Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones (2019) - IMDb
This gets changed to "tt1081042" which then matches with: "All My Children - Episode dated 3 April 1998"
