Summary

Analyze keywords

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.

This extension respects your privacy and only asks for the minimal permissions to operate correctly. All requests to imdb.com are anonymous (=without cookies) and search results are temporarily cached to avoid unnecessary network requests.

When the omnibox was cooperative, I could type in "I-M" and the site would come up and I could just hit tab. With the extension, I have to type it all out before I can search. As long as I can remember that, it will be fine!
