Dear [The Movie DB Support Team],

I am writing to report an issue with the /search/movie endpoint of your API. Despite following the documented guidelines, the URL does not seem to function as expected. This has disrupted the functionality of my application, which heavily relies on this endpoint for movie search features.

Could you please investigate this issue and provide a resolution or update? If additional details are required, feel free to let me know.

Looking forward to your prompt response.

Best regards, Mohamed Bilal

To get an answer, you need to provide the exact query that you have sent to our API, as well as the answer that you have got.

Hi @Mohamed_Bilal,

I'm not seeing any issues with search. As @superboy97 mentioned, you'll need to provide the full request you are making and perhaps we can help.
