Right, that's a similar problem here, made worse by the plethora of
listings suppliers who all do their own thing.

I've taken to updating the search definitions, which are stored in
mythweb/modules/tv/canned_searches.conf.php, to suit my own
preferences.  It can't make up for bad input, of course, but it can
help.  Note the function t() in this file: it refers to translations
of the argument, which must be defined in your choice of a file in
mythweb/modules/_shared/lang.

Yes.  This seems to be typical.

Hmm, possibly.  I'll try that some time when I have plenty of time on
my hands to recover broken databases :-)
