Show original title in lists and search results

Under content settings, for many years, I was able to set the original title as the default display title (even longer ago, this was the default on IMDB).  In lists and search results, I now get the title only in English (or another language, if I configure it).  Only the page with film information still shows the original title in small.

How can I get back the important functionality where the original title is shown for all films in lists and search results, and is shown as the primary title on film descriptions?

@gerritholl This functionality still works. Your content settings should look like this:

If your settings match, please follow the advice in https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/common-issues/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF

If the problem persists, please upload screen-grabs of your content settings page and the following pages … 

What do you see at #10 on https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

What do you see at the top of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/

What do you see as the first result on https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=good%20bad

Please note that for technical implementation reasons, the original title setting does not operate on the suggestion search from the search bar so you will still see this:

Hope this helps.

Thanks.  For some reason my setting was reverted and I overlooked the "Original" option.  Glad that it still works!
