Add "exclude individual episodes" to advanced search.

If I'm filtering by animation and sorting by rating I confusingly am getting 16 animations with "9.9" and a whole bunch of "9.8", because it takes this rating from respective highest rated episode, I'd like to exclude individual episodes from search (applies to TV series as well) to see and sort by the whole show's rating.

Couldn't the equivalent be achieved by appending the following string to the end of the search query URL?

&title_type=tv_series

Or using the "not" operator ! to exclude TV eps.

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=!tv_episode&genres=animation&sort=user_rating,desc

So in the Advanced Title Search I chose TV eps as the title type I "wanted", then edited the URL to place the ! in front of the "tv_episodes" parameter value.

This gives every title type _except_ TV eps that has genre Animation.

You can just select TV series in the advanced title search form.
