How can I find a movie in cafe society using the title? If the title is a common single word (Unfaithful) I get about 7 million hits.
Also, is hyperbole allowed in ATMB?
Danke
mangeorge, who is old now.

Alternatively, entering the string _unfaithful AND movie_ into the serarch box for the normal search and selecting posts, not threads, still returns only 58 hits, which may catch more references, (including some false positives, of course), and still be manageable.

…and only until your hovercraft fills up.
Also, don’t forget you can put _intitle:unfaithful site:straightdope.com_ into Google. There was this great thread about all sorts of ways to use Google to find materials on the Dope. Putting _+intitle:search +intitle:google site:straightdope.com_ finds it: [HOWTO: Search the SDMB using Google](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=518829). THANKS **Alterego**!
