[BUG] Channel search no longer showing relevant channels

API
1

So it appears like searching channels via the API no longer returns the most relevant channels.
E.g. when you used to search for ‘d’, ‘DrDisrespect’ would be returned, but now it’s just a bunch of ‘d_____’ and ‘d___’ etc.

Intentional?
The search on the site still works like before, returning relevant channels first.

These “a_____”, “a__” etc. names seem to be unintentionally polluting the results, as the rest of the results show relevant/popular streamers when you start pulling in 30-100 results in one API call.

Query bug?
