I've got the API working correctly. It is returning JSON based on a search query. It wired up to a very basic React app. I hid the API/token behind a Netlify function.
However, when searching for "Red" for example, the Page 1 results that are returned seem totally random. Related to the search term, yes, but totally random in terms of relevance, release date, etc. The first result
on Page 1 is the 2010 Bruce Willis Movie, "Red". Somewhat expected. Most of the rest however seem to be obscure or foreign movies. The end user (and the developer) might expect "Red 2" to be returned on Page 1, or perhaps for all pages and the entire results
array to be sorted by the most relevant first.
Basically, what is the sorting if any that the API returns? Is "relevance" a factor in determining what is returned? Is the developer able to set the sorting of what is returned (e.g. rating, "popularity" if it exists, etc.)? Is this a planned feature?

Yes it's on topic, but I wonder if the API developer has plans to improve the relevance or the retuned data. That initial question in that post is years old.

This feature may accomplish what you want. Adding a text search to discover would allow you to use all the discover features, which include various sorting options.

Undocumented Filters
On Discover, some that might help.
Examples for my language-COUNTRY. pt-BR.
For Movies:
&with_title_translation=pt-BR
&with_overview_translation=pt-BR
This one I think searches for text in Title, Tagline and Overview.
&with_text_query={any text}
For TV Show:
&with_name_translation=pt-BR
