Making a request for:

[https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/streams?query=my\_search\_query](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/search/streams?query=my_search_query)

The documentation says:

A stream is returned if the query parameter is matched entirely or partially, in the channel description or game name.

But the search does not check for matches on the name of the stream.  
Matches are checked only for the name of the game and the name of the channel.  
Previously, this worked correctly, I don’t understand what happened …
