What do you mean by searching by link?

The Mimic's ID is 2970, not 2790 :)

hi jgunther, do you understand what tnt is saying?

What defines the page you're seeing is the id in the url structure and not what comes after. The showname behind the id is meant for humans. You can put there what you like and it will still know where to refer the user.

What you have is two different shows identified with a single id.

If the link uses just the id and doesn't care about the name following, what link id do I use to get to the-good-place since 2790 maps to the-mimic?

In other words when I set the hyperlink of a field in my Excel spreadsheet to http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/2970/the-mimic/episodes it goes to the mimic.

When I set the hyperlink of a field in my Excel spreadsheet to http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/2970/the-good-place/episodes it still goes to the mimic.

OK, OK, I reread what tnt wrote and finally noticed that I had transposed numbers in the id. Since I was transcribing and not copy/paste my brain tricked me. My bad, mea culpa, sorry for being an idiot. I take it all back.
