Has something changed in the way your API handles query responses?
What I did: sent a simple query through the API (via an app I'm creating & testing), "notre dame football". I also tried "houston football" and "stanford football"
I expected to see a set of results that includes some upcoming NCAA football games. Instead I get a response with no results in all the above examples.
Apparently, in order to get an adequate response, I'd have to include the mascot name, e.g., instead of "houston football" I have to say "houston texans football" and instead of "stanford football" I have to say "stanford cardinal football". Notre Dame is tricky, since I apparently have to include "fighting irish" in the query to get the expected results (e.g. "notre dame fighting irish football); leaving out the 'fighting' search term returns no results.
I don't recall this issue happening a year ago when I started developing with your API. I distinctly recall getting good results with smaller, simpler queries, and I recall getting such good results with the exact queries I reference above as presently returning no results. Has something changed? In any case, what can I do about it?
As a possible solution - is there a way to use wildcards in my queries? This could be a good solution.
