The Movie Database Support

Hello,

I have an app where you can search movies by title and then sort them. But one user requested to include genres based search.
The idea is to search with the title and then add genres to "filter" the results.
Or to just select genres and it will show the most popular/latest movies.

I know i can use 'search/movies' to search by title and then filter the results by 'genre_id' and use only the discover/movie when the input for title is empty.
But i would like a better way to do it without splitting the requests, is there any endpoint i can use to make it (something like

search/movies?api_key=***&genres='16,28'&title='Castle'

Where i can remove genres or title and still get results ?

I don't think there is something provided for that but is it planned to or not at all ?

Thanks for the help and have a great day !

Hey @tomandrieu, at this time a combination discover with query is not possible although I do have an open ticket to think about this in the future. You can follow/vote for it which help me prioritize my work.
