Is 1337x Broken with dots or am I using it wrong? Trying to find the movie C.H.U.D. from 1984 but search returns nothing or only wrong results. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm looking for C.H.U.D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.). I tried the following searches when searching 1337x.to:

"C.H.U.D." -- The result was: "Please make sure atleast one word in your query is more then 3 characters. Your search is too short." And I saw it had changed my search string to "C H U D"
"CHUD" -- this returned a bunch of porn, and eventually "C.H.U.D.II.Bud.the.Chud.1989.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC" showed up in the list. But not the first C.H.U.D movie. And when I searched for "C.H.U.D.II" in the search bar, it once again claimed the search query was too short, and replaced the dots with spaces.

Please help.

Edit: problem solved thanks to you! Just had to out a space between C.H.U.D. and 1984

I thought we stopped using 1337x because they blatantly allowed malware on their site.

I'm sorry but isn't that 1377x?

no, 1337x.to is the official one

Yes so I was implying that parent poster might've been using the unofficial fake site instead.

yes but somebody found some sort of malware in a video game that was hosted on that site, and the hosts didn't want to do anything about it or something. I don't remember the details, I just remember that you're not supposed to download anything executable from 1337x
