I'm looking for C.H.U.D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.). I tried the following searches when searching 1337x.to:

  1. "C.H.U.D." -- The result was: "Please make sure atleast one word in your query is more then 3 characters. Your search is too short." And I saw it had changed my search string to "C H U D"

  2. "CHUD" -- this returned a bunch of porn, and eventually "C.H.U.D.II.Bud.the.Chud.1989.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC" showed up in the list. But not the first C.H.U.D movie. And when I searched for "C.H.U.D.II" in the search bar, it once again claimed the search query was too short, and replaced the dots with spaces.

Please help.

Edit: problem solved thanks to you! Just had to out a space between C.H.U.D. and 1984

I had similar issues looking for a movie titled space 1999.

I kept getting every movie made in 1999 or that had the word space in it.

I eventually found it... At the library...

Do you mean the compilation movie called "Spazio 1999" in it's original language?

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/542499-spazio-1999 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_1999#Compilation_films

I have no problem finding either the series or the Italian movie.

Searching for "Space 1999" works and "spazio 1990" works better for the movie.

I did eventually figure out how to get it. It didn't help that it is not the title of the book.

I have since learned how to use a few functions with searches that make it much easier.

But thank you for pointing out my flaws.
