does filtering work?

I'm trying to obtain details for a game, say 'Star Control 2'.

I use a URL like:

def url = "http://api.giantbomb.com/games/?api_key=$key&name=StarControl2&field_list=name"

I would expect this to return either just the name of the star control 2 game, or more likely 0 results since I may not be accounting for spaces properly in the url (how should they be supplied?).

What I end up with are the first 100 of 25683 results:

<response><error><![CDATA[OK]]></error><limit>100</limit><number_of_page_results>100</number_of_page_results><number_of_total_results>25683</number_of_total_results><offset>0</offset><results><game><name><![CDATA[Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf]]></name></game><game><name><![CDATA[Breakfree]]></name></game>

etc...

An earlier post said filtering doesn't work. Is this still the case? If not, what am I doing wrong!?!

Thanks,
Kal.

PS. If it isn't working it would be great to have a list of known issues in the pinned thread of this forum.

As stated in the games section of the documentation, the only filters that can be applied for games are field_list, limit, offset, and platforms. You'll need to use the search resource if you want to perform filters by name.

Thx. It would be cool to just use criteria to narrow directly based on whatever fields are in your tables.

Yes, that would be ideal. But additional filters never came despite being told four months ago that they would.
