When you append a year to the search query you get no results but it would be nice if it returned results for shows that were produced in that year.

In the first example we get valid results but in the second example we get nothing. The same results are observed with the API.

This makes getting results for different shows produced in different years with the same name very difficult when no results are returned with the year appended to the title. The same search with year appended at IMDb or TheTVDB returns valid results.

Not being able to append the production year to the title results in incorrect data returned for lots of shows that have the same title but different production years.
