IMDB Search Extension

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.

This extension is not affiliated with IMDb. IMDb is a trademark of IMDb.com, Inc.

Walt Dittrich (ID: 0000007bd0a64bf6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/11/2017 It seems to work exactly like it says it does. Just type imdb press TAB and type what you want to search iMDb.com for. I seemed to have had trouble setting up the search from Omnibox myself. I don't know why. This extension solved my problem. I don't know what I did wrong, but this extension works perfectly, so problem solved!!
