Without knowing anything about twitch arch my guess is that maybe both api’s use the same core service and maybe the fault is in there (again, just guessing)

There is a open bug on the github about the problem.  
And a “Investigating” user voice

There is no timeline on a fix at this time.

There is no need to bump this forum thread. When/if there is more information there will be more information provided.

So…

Any new developments from the dev team fixing this bug? Even the migration guide from V5 to Helix says this endpoint should match results from the title:

> “The v5 endpoint searched for the channel title and category. Use “Search Channels” to match channel name or **title**. Use “Search Categories” to match a category.”

I have not heard of any further update about this topic recently, but can confirm to have run into this before and reporting it (according to my abilities).

More than half a year after this and no apparent change. It seems like it’s a -1 priority thing for the devs to correct this bug.

Do we have any news about this?
