Hey there,
Is it possible to restrict searches based on names only in upcoming movies or tv series?

Hi @berker
None of the featured list methods support text search, unfortunately. They are based off of discover and it doesn't support text search.

Thank you for your reply. I think my question isnt quite clear. If im not mistaken we can use movie names as parameter to search api. Ex,
was searching for fight club.
I will get that name parameter from user but i want to list the movie if the given is not released yet. That was my question, if im able to limit the search method only for the upcoming movies or not.

Gotcha! Unfortunately, not really. /movie/search supports specifying a release year but not a release date. So you won't be able to get it to filter down to the level you're looking for.
