@adrianrodriguez: After playing with it some more I got it to work right How are you getting your search results? I feel like I'm not hitting the api in my app the same way you are, your superman and my superman have different thumbnail images. Also noticed you and I are both using Angular :)

@cbandes: Odd, I put in Superman, and Batman, but I do know how finikcy the search is considering i;m still working on my app right now.

@cbandes: Was testing it out, but every time I tried searching for something, nothing happened, but when I looked at the console I noticed there was a 400 error:

WebSocket connection to 'ws://www.webofheroes.com/socket.io-client/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=D3pni5HeRH-fu6BoAARc' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400

@donnrri: Yea, it's a problem I have noticed here as well, it's not ungrateful per say, but you're aware as are many other devs, and it's rather quiet on the side of mods here. So we're basically having to help each other at the moment and hope someone else can come in and actually respond from time to time.

@donnrri: I actually wound up figuring it out, and already am well into my app using Angular :) Thanks though.

I will try this out, right now I am filtering through and checking for a matching string that matches my search query in the description, name, or volume name. Why? Because I would run into the issue where I got John Wayne comics for Damian Wayne.... so very frustrating, I will try this out and see how it works out.

(Update, tried this and I just get a 404) :/

@twaffles: I've been thinking about the same thing but so far this seems to be the most extensive, though very flawed. I'm currently working on my app using this and run into flaws/bugs daily, so I am just doing the best I can with it. I was using the Marvel one, but their's is very restrictive with their search.

Good luck getting an answer haha.

This is definitely something I want as well, and if it is implemented it will make the api much stronger.

I've noticed a ton of issues with the API and it's basically holding my project back. I switched from using the Marvel API to ComicVine because of how enticing it was to be able to search through so many comics and their publishers but the more I use it the more I shake my head.

• When searching through issues filtering with character_credits doesn't do anything, but then I noticed when I just pull down every issue "character_credits" isn't mentioned on a single one.
• A bunch of other fields were missing and/or ignored when trying to utilize the search query.
• When I try to search for an issue with Damian Wayne for example I get everything from John Wayne to Batman.... this is pretty crazy. (Is there a way to be more specific in this search since character_credits doesn't even work?)
• The documentation is lacking. I had to sift through a bunch of forums just to find out how to even setup a search query and hit the api. /issue doesn't even work, but then again I am confused at what it means.
• Also the forums seem dead so I probably won't see a reply to this haha.

Anyway if I am using this wrong, I am all ears or eyes haha. I don't want to go back to the Marvel api since I want to build something that has more than just Marvel comics, but the filtering and documentation is much stronger.
