I'd like to find all the movies start with A in category "action", for exemple.
but search api doesn't have option with_genres

Hi gitawego,
You'll want to take a look at the /discover/movie method. You can search for movies via a number of criteria, including genres.
Edit: Not quite, you can't apply phrase/text searches to the discover method. For something like this, you will have to bring the data in house and do this yourself.
Cheers.

Hi Victor,
What I mean is to pull the data down yourself and build a system that is best suited for your data locally.
Cheers.
