Search not returning results

The movie is "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" and the link is http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/11049-interstella-5555-the-5tory-of-the-5ecret-5tar-5ystem
As I am using XBMC it can't use the ":" in the filename.
I would expect one or both of the following filenames / manual searches to return the correct results but they come back with nothing...
Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem - http://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Interstella+5555+-+The+5tory+of+the+5ecret+5tar+5ystem
Interstella 5555 The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem - http://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Interstella+5555+The+5tory+of+the+5ecret+5tar+5ystem
Interstella 5555 - http://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Interstella+5555
The only way to get results are to search for "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" or a search for "Daft Punk" then selecting it from a list.
I know the file used to be called "Interstella 5555" and it would pull it up but not any more. Any ideas?

This is because of a feature in our search which looks for a term ending in 4 digits. It's described and explained here.
We'll be fixing it eventually.
