## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search for manga by title within the MangaDex database, especially when filtering by publication status, release year, or original language. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured manga metadata from MangaDex specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing q parameter — may return error or empty response
- MangaDex API rate limiting or downtime causing upstream failure
