It's down to how the downloaded listings data is organised - in the US
there is much better categorisation and labelling of program data,
whereas here in the UK, it's different and only some of the canned
searches will work - in my current experience, the 3 movie searches
work from within MythWeb, but I'm pretty certain the New Titles search
worked the other day from within mythfrontend.

You can see exactly what the canned searches are looking for here:

I have noticed with the uk_rt data that significantly fewer (read
almost zero) movies are being given ratings now, which makes using the
ratings-based movie searches pretty pointless, and when the
film->movie conversion was temporarily removed from the listings data
import process a few weeks back, searching for any movies broke.
