[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 657458, member: 18896"] "Its" = It's with a missing quote, that is fine, TheTVdB search engine has no problem with finding a match then. "It is" = something totally different, eventhough in English language it is the same, it causes a problem on a strict search Google on the other hand is a lot smarter, then again that's why they make the big bucks.
