"Get today's top news" doesn't work.

"Get today's top news" does not work.

API documentation says that to get the top news of the day, simply leave the q parameter unset, as follows - curl -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <yourkeygoeshere>" https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/search?q=&mkt=en-us

However, this does not return any results. This is the response I see -

{"_type": "News", "queryContext": {"originalQuery": ""}, "value": []}

Please remove this line item if getting top news is not possible. Or please update with the correct parameter.

Thanks!

As per the code comments mentioned here - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/d8d8718ffee877ef5a80d72a794fd5ba8435f145/sdk/cognitiveservices/azure-cognitiveservices-search-newssearch/azure/cognitiveservices/search/newssearch/operations/_news_operations.py#L50

It seems query parameter can never be empty. So "Get today's top news" can never work.
