Show search is restricted?

Mario wrote 9 years ago: 1

Hi,

First of all thanks for this great API.

Im using /search/shows?q=:query to make a real time search with AngularJS but for every query I made only shows me 10 results.

Example: http://api.tvmaze.com/search/shows?q=game there is no game of thrones result. I need to make a query with: http://api.tvmaze.com/search/shows?q=game%20of

Can we get more results than 10?.

Thanks.

Yeah, the search is limited to a maximum of 10 results. This is to prevent insanely large responses; otherwise a query for "the" or "a" would return a countless amount of matches.

Any reason you couldn't do a more specified query than a generic term like "game"?
