What is Film Search?
FilmSearch is a custom-built search engine designed to help users discover films through complex, natural language queries. It delivers relevant results for vague or descriptive searches like "films about love and space"
Problem
Users struggle to discover movies matching complex or descriptive queries (e.g., "films about love and space") using traditional keyword-based platforms, resulting in irrelevant or limited results.
