"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. Their search engine system for example is able to run more subsets of the same query by ommitting parts of the search string and match that with results and offer suggestions on what generates more matches if adjustments are made.


Per example: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&complete=0&q=site:thetvdb.com++"Series+Info"++tab+it+is+always+sunny+in+philadelphia


You can see that it did not bold the "It's" part of the title, by ommitting it from search, but is still able to come up with a result. The added +"Series Info" and +tab search parts are done to limit the results to only relevant ones (would not want to get forum or other entries that could be wrong). Possibly the MP-TVSeries developers could add an alike Google correction logic into their system, so that when a direct TheTVdB API search returns no results to check via Google if there is a close match that would work.


But in reality it is easy to see when you made a mistake and correct this either by renaming the files, or using the string-replacement system to correct them.
