Hello
This is my first message. I have read the documentation and it seems that searching for a platform is not implemented.
I might be wrong and in this case "Is there an easy way to get a platform informat via the search api ?"

I am able to do a search for a platform if I set resources to object and it set resource type as "object". (OK) 
What I want is to get the id of the platform PS3 for example.
So that I can request information by : 
 http://api.giantbomb.com/platform/<ID_OF_PS3>/?api_key=<APIKEY>

I try this
 http://api.giantbomb.com/search/?api_key=<APIKEY>&resources=object&query=ps3
then :
  http://api.giantbomb.com/object/1463/?api_key=<APIKEY>
But I get many platforms (IPhone, PSP, PS2 and PS3 ...) in platforms node
 
My purpose is to add a platform to the resources criteria from search like this :
http://api.giantbomb.com/search/?api_key=<APIKEY>&resources=platform&query=ps3 
 
Will you plan to add this feature ? 
 
Regards

In this thread andy commented on updates to the search.

Andy Said:
 

 I do agree that adding more filter options to search would be beneficial.  We're working on some changes internally to search that will make that kind of thing possible.  Once we get it updated, we'll be able to work those filters into the API as well.
