+"""Moviepilot is a German movie database, similar to IMDB or TMDB.  It doesn't
+have any official API, but it uses JSON requests internally to fetch search
+results and suggestions, that's being used in this implementation.
+
+Moviepilot additionally allows to discover movies by certain categories
+or filters, hence we provide the following syntax:
+
+- Any normal search query -> Fetch search results by the query
+
+- A query containing one of the category identifiers ``fsk``, ``genre``,
+  ``jahr``, ``jahrzent``, ``land``, ``online``, ``stimmung`` will be used to
+  search trending items by the provided filters, which are appended to the
+  filter category after a ``-``.
+
+Search examples:
+
+- Normal: ``!mp Tom Cruise``
+- By filter: ``!mp person-Ryan-Gosling``
+- By filter: ``!mp fsk-0 land-deutschland genre-actionfilm``
+- By filter: ``!mp jahrzehnt-2020er online-netflix``
+
+For a list of all public filters, observe the url path when browsing
+
+- https://www.moviepilot.de/filme/beste.
