Podcast episode search API not searching episode descriptions

Podcast episode search API not searching episode descriptions

Hi,

 

I'm using the podcast search API (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/search) and noticed that the results only search the podcast episode title and not the episode descriptions.

 

Am I using the API incorrectly/is this a bug? If not, does anyone know if it's on the roadmap to include episode descriptions in search results?

 

example:

 

curl -X "GET" "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=armchair%20expert%20mountain%20lion&type=episode&limit=50&offset=0" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

I would expect this result to include this episode (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2K2ISQeG32L68yG7jE1b6K ) since the description contains the word "mountain lion".

 

Thanks!
