You can restrict the search to certain fields by clicking on the little magnifying glass in the search window. However 'country' isn't one of the fields included in the restricted search so instead you can choose 'Columns Shown' and then type in what you're looking for.

Alternatively, go into the Preferences/Autofill, select Country and correct the typo there.

Since it's a misspelling Nora's technique of using the top right filter search should show only the movies with the misspelling. However, if you would like exact results use a temporary smart collection: "country is Canda".

Correcting the autofill will not update the movie but it's a good idea to do avoid selecting that misspelling in the future. Using the 'Rebuild' button in the autofill is a great way to find misspelling and inconsistencies in fields that repeat, but I have a feeling you know about this, as it's likely the way you noticed the misspelled country.

Yes I know, but don´t work.
I have in preferences autofill, country Mexico instead México.
I create a smart intelligent collection and put country, contain Mexico but don´t get any results.

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Could you send us your Database.pediadata file as well as the DVDpedia plist file so we can take a look at your data and try to reproduce the problem here? You'll find the data file in your Home folder under ~/Library/Application Support/DVDpedia/Database.pediadata and the plist file in your Home folder under ~/Library/Preferences/com.bruji.dvdpedia.plist. (Our email address is here.)
Also, could you have a look at your console log, see if there are any messages from DVDpedia? You can access the console log via the application 'Console', located inside your Applications/Utilities. The newer messages are towards the end of the log.

If it still happens with beta 56 please then send me the .dcard for the movie that you are updating that shows the URL in the title field.
