Yes, the title "In Search of Lost Time" became popular when D.J. Enright revised the previous English translation by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, which were titled Remembrance of Things Past. ("Remembrance of Things Past" came from Shakespeare's Sonnet 30, "In Search of Lost Time" being a literal translation of the original French title.) Pretty much all the English translations are based off of Moncrieff's work.
There's also a new re-translation being done by Penguin; only the first four are out, the rest are supposed to be out in 2018(?). I think the delay is due to some of the volumes being under copyright still.
