I found a comment [1] from the author on a reddit thread [2]. So yes, it seems like the data is already stale and getting staler :(

  Interesting, but won't this be a pretty short-lived site since the Netflix API will be shut down November 14? Or are you doing this without using their API?

    It should work pass that date as the site doesn't rely on the API. I can't promise it though as at the end of the day they own the content no matter how you get it.

I entered John Wayne in the search box and it found nothing. But I know there are at least one or two of his movies on NetFlix.

Yeah that's weird. When you search for "true grit" it finds the movie and John Wayne is correctly listed and one of the cast members. I'll sort it out when I get home, it's probably just a case of adjusting the querying algorithm. Thanks for letting me know.

I searched for [Steve Martin] and my sole result is "iSteve", which, as far as I can tell, doesn't have the token "Martin" in it at all. This is despite five Steve Martin films currently streaming on Netflix US.
