Hi,

I've just come across a problem with the search API that I don't
understand. A search for RBS TV in the Digg search bar returns 4
results (but only displays 3?).

However, performing the same search on the Search API, even unquoted,
will return 0 results. Is there a reason for that? Is there something
I can do?

Here are the search URLs.

http://digg.com/search?q=%22RBS+TV%22
http://services.digg.com/2.0/search.search?query=RBS+TV

Thanks in advance.

story response?

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. The website is now using
a new search endpoint that is designed to find more relevant results
and to allow for more common searching abilities. I have not yet
ported the API to this new endpoint as the API. That is why the
results do not match, yet.

Any rough ETA on getting that new search ported to the API?

Thanks a lot for looking it up, Scott :)

I'd appreciate if you could give me an ETA as well.

Hi all,

Scott's fixes are currently being deployed. They should be reflected
in /2.0/search.search results in production in about 1-2 hours.

Thanks and let us know if you find any other issues!

Will
