Yes it is possible and it's already done. Unfortunately we cannot distribute it because it proprietary.
But we cannot stop you to make one yourself.
 
As an alternative I consider making a series variant for IMDb.

Hi again Jan, 
 
Well i'm working on it a little bit but really it's difficult for me. Anyway, at this point i got some success with it but i got a big problem with the subtitle in the series. The program use 'title' + 'subtitle' + "What you want" as the searching string and that makes that the results are 0 in most cases.
As an example, if i try to search in "bing" this string: |site:thetvdb.com "Big Bang" +"Piloto" + "Johnny Galecki" I got 0 results,
But if i search: |site:thetvdb.com "Big Bang" + "Johnny Galecki" I got 4 results with the first one as the right result.
 
So, is there any way to disable the subtitle from the search string?
 
Thanks and best regards :)

 Hi Wabiloo
It is not more difficult than making any other siteini. The syntax used for MDB ini's is similar to that for Site ini's. For series episode data extraction a special procedure has to be followed. The manual http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/download/documentation/Manual/Documentation.V1.1.4.pdf contains a dedicated section 6 and 6.4 about all of it.
Also there is already a series variant of the IMDb siteini http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/download/ini/info/zip/MDB%20postprocessor_imdb.com.imdb_series.zip as example.

P.S. you have a PM
