Potential IMDb Feature: Collaboration Search Option

I think it could be helpful and interesting if IMDb had a feature that allowed one to search two (or more) celebrities and discover which productions they have both been involved in. For example, an entry for Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp would yield What's Eating Gilbert Grape?--a film they both starred in.

Apparently, this sort of thing does exist at http://www.imdb.com/search/common. However, I still think that this feature should be more available visible to the general IMDb user.

Argh...why two threads?...

Anyway, yes.  They have had it.  It used to be a link at the left of peoples' pages, then at the bottom, but now they use "quick links."  There is a heck of a lot of stuff to wade through if everything is right there in plain site.  If everyone's favorite feature was boldly placed, you'd just see a forest of links and nothing would be obvious.  So, they do their best to keep things clean and useable while having a lot of features available.  But, that link is where all of them are...so, moving one off that area would confuse some of us if we're expecting it to be where everything else is.
