The recently added change Artwork feature is very handy. Being able to CTRL-Click on an image to find alternatives works pretty well.

I do wonder if there might be some consideration given to giving the user some ability to "tweak" the search string when searching for artwork.  This might allow the user to refine the search, or to completely change the parameter in the event that no results are returned from the original search.

Two current examples:
ABC TV - All Creatures Great and Small - the search finds artwork for the old 1978 series.  Fortunately a couple of images from the 2020 series get picked up in the search so that's OK.  The choice is limited, but sufficient.  However, if the search was refined to search only for the 2020 series, there would be consioderably more items to choose from.

SBS TV - Magical Train Journeys in Switzerland - no artwork found at all, but Plex appears to find it, and has renamed the show to "Traumhafte Bahnstrecken der Schweiz"
There are other cases where SBS have translated the show name to English and no artwork is found by NextPVR.

I thought it might be a neat feature to allow the user to edit the search line to either refine the search (say by adding (2020) to the first case), or putting a completely new search parameter in place (for non-english shows).

I'd noted your request down. I'm not really sure how I'd integrate that in the UI though - kind of ugly popping up a box.

Currently the string doesn't come from the web front end though, so it'd be a relatively substantial change, needing changes to the backend api, and the web front etc.

I figured a Pop-up Dialog would be the go.  Not that ugly, and does the job.  If the actual implementation is a hassle then don't lose sleep over it.  It was a "nice to have" request.

I've added this for the next release. Seems to fit in quite well.

That looks great.  Thanks for implementing that, I hope it didn't take up too much coding time.
