Import unsatisfactory

Hello,
until a week before or so the result of imported PGN games ("1-0") was transferred to the database. Now I get in the header "Termination Unterminated" with no way to assign a result to the imported game. Also, any event that I give will result in "Event Import". How am I supposed to search for, e.g., imported games from event Sotchi 2009 that were won by White?

Also, what's really annoying is that imported comments are simply erased. It would have been nice to download the PDF with the preserved comments.

Lichess is really best but import is a sore point.

Regards,
Can you give the URL of an imported game that presents the mentioned defects?
i always wondered why people import to lichess anyway? what's the purpose of importing?
Having an URL to share a game, any game, not only those played on lichess. Getting a clickable analysis, seeing the ups and downs in the evaluation graph. Building a small database of games to come back to.

Enough?
Are you sure the PGN you imported had a [Result "1-0"] tag and wasn't just a game in progress? In addition to the Result tag, PGNs have an optional Termination tag that can give additional details about how the match ended. [Termination: Unterminated] seems to indicate that the game was still in progress when you copied the PGN, hence the [Result "*"] instead of [Result "1-0"].

Maybe it would help if you pasted the raw PGN you used that resulted in this imported game: http://en.lichess.org/GfX5fQm7 right here on the forums.
OK here is a PGN snippet with [Result "1-0"] tag that produces [Result "*"] and [Termination Unterminated] in the imported game:

[Event "SPP02"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2015.10.02"]
[Round "2"]
[White "Stockfish 300815 (4x3GHz)"]
[Black "Komodo 9.2 4x3GHz"]
[Result "1-0"]
[TimeControl "10/1"]
[FEN "bqnbnrkr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/BQNBNRKR w - - 0 1"]

{Manual adjudication.
wtime 573347, btime 577125}
1-0
BTW, in case it is useful, importing games with a draw (1/2-1/2) result DOES work. It's 1-0 or 0-1 games which fail.
Same problem for me.
No result in imported games.
Only 1/2-1/2 is recognized.
