Scribd API search showing irrelevant responses

Question

When I use the search function in the scribd docs API to search for a function, for example http://api.scribd.com/api?method=docs.search&api_key=API_KEY&query=hello+world It returns irrelevant results and those that are different from the search site features. This query, for example, returns results about Guitar Hero, World of Warcraft and Virtual Worlds, etc. While a search on the site https://www.scribd.com/search-documents?query=hello+world yields documents called "Hello World", as you would expect. Is there a parameter that I can add to the api call that will make it return the corresponding results?

Answer 1

You can try playing with the parameter simpleto see if your queries matter. According to the API link (half of them are currently unavailable), it makes the results the same as for the website:

(optional) This parameter specifies whether or not to enable advanced search queries (additional information). When set to false, the API search behaves the same as a search on Scribd.com . If set to true, API search allows you to use advanced queries that contain filters, such as the name: "A Tale of Two Cities." Set the value to true by default.
