\games vs \search

Hi

I'm new to GiantBomb API and so far it looks great!

I have two questions about searching for games:

• It seems neither \games nor \search returns genres. Is this true or am I doing something wrong? I have included genres in the field_list
• What is the preferred solution to search for a game by name? \search or \games? Some advantages/disadvanteges?

Thanks!

On your first question, some fields just aren't present when you're pulling collections of things like games. Putting them in the field_list won't change that, you'll just have to go pull them individually to get that detailed information.

Honestly, not sure about the second question.

Thanks! I can't find a good documentation on what fields are available where, but I guess it's just a matter of testing it.

/games has some advantages of filtering and sorting, but I assume /search is there for a reason too :)
