Extension summary

Type "imdb " and you can directly search on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). While typing, search results are immediately displayed. These search results are identical to the results of the search box at the IMDb homepage.

If you press Enter without choosing a suggestion, the full search result page is shown.

Only movies are suggested (no series or TV shows). If you want an option to also see series or TV shows, contact me and I'll add it.
