In using the Advanced Search option (http://www.imdb.com/search/title) and I want to see the listing of every movie that Woody Allen is credited as a writer, I can add him to cast/crew box which will yield every movie which he has any kind of credited role (writer, director, actor ...) does anyone know if its possible to restrict that to only movies where he is credited as a writer specifically?

I know I could just see the list on his page under writer, but I was hoping for the useful display option that Advanced Search gives where I can get user rating/my rating/votes at one glance without having to go to every single title.

Thanks in advance for any help.

hi napierslogs,

That would be very useful. I believe Emperor suggested something similar. If I find his suggestion, I will post it in this thread.

Thanks Dan and Emperor, I also found Cartman_1337's reply in this thread: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/sorting_actors_directors_etc_titles_by_votes_or_ratings_is_n... with the manual link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000489/filmovote and that will at least help me.

Grumble, grumble. Unfortunately, IMDb redirects 
https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics
to http://www.imdb.com/filmosearch?role=nm0000489&sort=num_votes&explore=title_type
which does not break out film credits by specialty.

Yep, unfortunately, they got rid of the workaround, so my proposed fix seems the only solution.
