You can do a keywords search from the menu to the right of the search form at the top of every IMDb page: 



Where in the help was the link to the old page located?

The link is on the keyword help page: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5?ref_=helpsrall#

Thanks.  We have opened a ticket to have the dead link removed.

I hope that it includes not just the removal of the dead link but also the explanation you included above.

The guide has been updated, thanks.   We have actually linked to the keyword browser at https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/field/keywords/value instead which is much better in the context of a contribution guide.

That lik is hard to use since you can not search in that list, i tried to select "C" and search for "Competition" using ctrl + F in Firefox, but no result, and the list only goes to "captivation" if i pres "next" I go to the letter D and not words starting later in the alphabet with cbxxxxx.
So it took me ages to fint the search option mentioned above here, I relly miss the search option mentioned on  https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5#

I don't really see a search option mentioned in the guide. As Col says, the best search is to use the search bar at the top of the page and select to search for keywords. That's what I end up using.

I agree, thats why the search option should be mentioned also at: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5# since searching the https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/field/keywords/value like Col mentioned they added on the help page instead does not work :(
