Small change to api error responses

I am currently trying out the console API for an application and so far going well, but I ran into an error message while trying the search endpoint:

{ "error" : { "status" : 400, "message" : "Missing parameter type" } }

Now I finally found out what the problem was after way to many hours wasted. The search api has a parameter called 'type', that I forgot. The reason it took that long was that i thought the message told me I was missing A type, but without telling me which one. I would suggest that the message should be like

{ "error" : { "status" : 400, "message" : "Missing parameter 'type'" } }

to avoid confusion like I experienced for a couple of days. Just a thought.
