Not great search results

    Hi there

    I am utilizing your API in my little app and I am rather well impressed with it however today I have noticed that results can be a little bit off at times. For instance, try to do search on movie Ted (now in cinemas). Result I am after appears on 3rd place after "It Is No Dream: The Life of Theodor Herzl" and "Teddy Bear" ... come on RT, you can do better than that:)

    Regards Michael

    I have solved my problem(s) with additional code. Perhaps in the future RT dev team you could update API so it will return results sorted by closest match (title) and date (descending, or make sorting an input parameter). Also, perhaps we could have input parameter skip_unreleased (or something to that effect). See results for Amazing Spider Man, sequel to be released in 2014. Other than that, I love this API, well done RT.
