Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

When doing the initial movie import on a large library (1400 movies, in my case), it is very tedious and time consuming to go through the list of movies one-by-one to make sure the movie's search result matches the actual movie title or that any search results are found.

Here is an example of what I'm looking for on the initial import. A very close, but non-exact match (wrong year):

Describe the solution you'd like

Filters to show only non-exact matches, poor matches (Levenshtein distance?), or no matches for movie titles.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternative - I could make a script that parses the HTML source and lists only the filtered results.

Anything else?
