Images of actress from tv series: list goes on to show pictures from the tv series that do not contain the actress.

Images of actress from TV series: list goes on to show pictures from the TV series that do not contain the actress.  I only want to see the photos with her in them.

This is in the "new" version of Imdb.  I have not had this problem with the old version.

I started on

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10327354/characters/nm4563780?ref_=tt_mv_close
Prodigal Son (2019–2021)
Aurora Perrineau: Dani Powell

This page has a list of photo thumbnails,  and also a box "more photos."

I select the first thumbnail and see 30 photos of the actress in screen grabs from the TV series.  Then I keep hitting right arrow to scroll through the list and photos start showing up without the actress in them.  Apparently this is intentional. 

I don't like it.  I only want the photos that have the actress I am searching for to appear, so I can go to a different page when they run out.  It wastes time scrolling through the pictures of the same TV series that don't have her in them until I figure out that you have no more pictures that match the search criteria I entered.

@chip100  Sorry about that.  This is a bug and is unrelated to the updates to the title pages. We have opened a ticket with the appropriate team to investigate and fix.  Thanks for the problem report.

@chip100 A quick update on this ... it seems this has been broken (and unreported) since last year.  Unfortunately it is not a quick fix.  The team responsible will need to design and build a new solution so this is going to take some time, sorry.

@forthehorde  Thanks, yes, this is a very similar issue, however, at least in the filter-by-name case, you can always browse the filtered photos via the title/mediaindex view. 

The problem with title/characters is that you can never see more than the first screenful of character photos, which is much worse.  Both issues have the same underlying resolution and, sadly, it is not a quick fix.

@chip100  A belated update to this as we are doing some spring cleaning on Sprinklr.  The issue reference above will be finally be fixed when the character and photo pages are migrated to the new design and technology.  This is part of an active program being designed, built, tested, and deployed across 2023. Sorry for the delay in the meantime.
