I've run into a wacky ass problem.

I've been trying to search for a movie called "9", which was made in 2009. It's an animated movie about sentient burlap dolls that I remember fondly as a kid and want to watch again. IMDB

Problem being, the title of it is basically impossible to search on my sites of choice. I rely on 1337x for the most part. and for the life of me, I cannot search the name of this movie. It either pulls up everything with 9 in the title, some unrelated movie called Nine also released in 2009, or nothing at all if I try to quote-search it.

Anyone have a better site (with search by imdb?) to get it from or can find a mag link to dm? Or maybe know the right way to trick the search box into actually finding the movie

Pirate bay, search for "9 2009”. You can find it about 3/4 of the way down the page

    You can search for "9 2009" to help finding it. Not on first page but does appear (check pm)

    Use the IMDB ID for search in that instance.

    The ID is the part of the URL that starts with “tt”. Lots of sites support that and for instances like that it’s the best bet. Do include the double t when searching.

    Note: this works via API with jackett. It will probably work otherwise but worth trying the searcher plugins in qBittorrent using this method even without jackett.

    I typically get around this by adding the year.

    so for this example, I would search "9 (2009)"

    Very unrelated. But I recall this being the first instance of trailers that I watched and was disappointed when the song in the trailer (Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria) was not present in the movie at all.

    On some sites if you use the advanced search (ext.to for example), you can search by the IMDb ID.

    haha been there, however I did succeed on finding it and it was either 1337x or ext.to
    it sucks they don't have -term and "term" to refine search

    I got that one, I think

    Try rutracker and search for the director of the movie + 2009, you should find it
