 * Does your new WP site have that custom post type defined? “movie” would be defined
   by a plugin or theme.
 * Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.

 * hi steve,
    the custom post type ‘movie’ is defined in the functions.php p.s. 
   it is just installed locally at the moment.
 * thanks

 * I’m pretty sure the default search requires more than the first letter. You might
   try one of the better search plugins like “releavanssi” or “search everything”
 * If you want a listing by first letter, take a look at [https://wordpress.org/plugins/a-z-listing/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/a-z-listing/)
