Currently search does not work with Cyrillic characters, so it's impossible to search the library if you're say - Russian ;)&nbsp;So to be able to search it would be very helpful to add "Original Title" field to the search. I would imagine that would be quite helpful not only to different alphabets that cant use search, but also for other people that watch foreign stuffs. Plus why have the field if you cant use it?

&nbsp;

From the outlook it should be quite easy to implement.

Also if at all possible, would be nice to fix the search that it would work with Cyrillic characters.
