I added an old TV movie to my plex movies section. I tried in the fix match section to input the number from imdb tt0088693 to match the movie and it keeps saying that nothing is found. I wonder if there is a setting not on to allow this search to take place.

Thanks in advance

This is because what you have there is not a movie, but a mini-series.  
It was originally aired in 2 parts.

All the metadata sources for Plex are listing it as a series/“tv show”.  
So you will only get a match (and get metadata for it) if you put it into a library of the type “tv shows”.  
[Named and organised](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/) like a proper tv show in Plex.
