Kraken v3/v5 channels search endpoint

API
1

Hi, I’ve recently noticed that the https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/channels endpoint only returns results that match the query string inside the username, failing to match the status or the last played game. So if I look for “starcraft” it will only return results from people with the word “starcraft” in their name or display name, like:

starcraft_historical
starcraft_kr
starcraftzhtw
starcraft_replays

But it won’t display other users who recently played starcraft.

I remember this used to return matched inside status and game fields too. Is this an error?

Thanks.
