Here are some examples:
http://thegamesdb.net/api/GetGamesList.php?name=x-men
http://thegamesdb.net/api/GetGamesList.php?name=god+of+war

They both stopped working a few days ago

We're receiving an empty xml in the response (<Data></Data>)

I'm on a mac.

Also like to note that this problem also happens on the main search box on 
site, trying to search for x-men returns results in the pop up box but then 
when you search it fails to find/return anything. 
And using the api it seems very hit and miss with things like age of empires 
not working but command and conquer is working. 
Also I note that 'age of empires' returns nothing but 'empires' returns result. 
This leads me to believe you may have implemented a minimum keyword length 
which clearly fails for games such as god of war or x-men

I believe you are correct about the minimum length.  We are looking into it.
