Ask HN: Other titles that Prime search won't find by name anymore?

2•stopbulying•1h ago
Trying to find the film "The Current War" on Amazon Prime but neither "current war" or "the current war" (without quotes) finds the film.

(I purchased this film; it is in my Video Library but can't be found by searching for it by name)

Are there other titles missing from or now-unsearchable on Prime?

Is there a technical explanation for this apparent censorship?

I noticed something similar recently. I purchased "The Fast and the Furious" on Prime quite some time ago. Recently I searched for it, and the only entry that shows up shows that I would have to pay to watch it. WTF? So I go into my Video Library and browse to that title, and sure enough it says "You purchased this" and I can watch it.

I assume that in my case, the issue is that certain titles are listed more than once (for whatever bizarre reason) and the particular instance I bought is no longer available. OR, a less charitable take would be that Amazon do this intentionally to try to trick people into paying a second time for something they've already purchased...

Not sure what I believe yet, and not sure if this relates to your issue or not. So take this FWIW.
