Maxing all axes and not getting The Big Lebowski? Oh, but it seems to be missing from the database entirely. I don't know which is the bigger problem.

Our DB is still growing - but more importantly, a full max shape will be unlikely to yield results - as a perfect average is also unlikely. Movies only appear when their dimension is equal to or greater than the shape you search by.

I was just joking, of course, but it is my favorite movie of all time, and it does rank very highly on all dimensions IMO :) Anyway, nice project. What are you using for auto-completion?

Thanks! All search is using solr w/ sunspot - https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot which has edge matching :)

Hmm...that's interesting, it should've definitely already been there. On what page did you search for it?
