Issue with /search and primary language filter not applying #310

Open BadassRockett opened 9 months ago

BadassRockett commented 9 months ago

Hi,

I have been looking at the /search api call and sometimes it returns a lot of results which I have found we are limited to accessing the first 5000 results. So I tried to narrow down my results by adding a filter to only result series with a primary language of eng however it appears to not have any affect on the results:

Example API call: https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/search?query=Supai&type=series&year=2022&language=eng&limit=50

language: Restrict results to a specific primary language. Should include the 3 character language code. Currently only used for series and movies.

First Result:

"objectID": "series-405920", "primary_language": "jpn",

The API call returns 7 results with and without the language filter applied.

Maybe I am misunderstanding how the search works?

Please shout if you need any more info, happy to help in any way I can.

Thanks BadassRockett
