The Movie Database Support

Is it possible to add a proper search functionality when adding a crew member? ATM the system requires you to put the words in the exact order, i.e. if you enter "Producer" you won't find "Executive Producer" among the suggestions. Or for the theme music, there's "Theme Song Performance" and "Main Title Theme Composer", and if you just enter "theme", you'll only get the first one, so you need to remember the exact spelling of the other one. And there are many other examples of that inconvenience. Can it be adjusted to use the full-text search?

Or maybe at least pin the whole list of the crew jobs somewhere in the bible, where it could be easily found for the reference.

Yeah or somehow implement 'alternative names' like if you serach for Cinematographer it'll display Director of Photography as well. Another good example is "Post-Production Coordinator" - if you copy & paste it in like that = no results. Because its written "Post Production Coordinator" on here.
