Standard Recipe Search broken?

Question

While I seem to be able to search complex recipes, I can not seem to get the standard recipe search to function as expected. No matter what options I use or exclude, it always returns 0-1 result, even on the API test page provided here.

I personally prefer to use the complex recipe search, but it simply takes too long to resolve for regular searching.

Recipe Search Complex counts as 3 calls, so this is more expensive and not ideal.

For anyone else experiencing this, a workaround is to use Recipe Search Complex, which looks like it's functioning as intended.

I have been having the same problem, however I dont believe that just query=burger works right now.  https://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.rapidapi.com/recipes/search?query=burger along with my key and other headers still returns 0 results. If Spoonacular could get this working soon that would be much appreciated :)

I'm having the same issue, the example query of

`unirest.get("https://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.rapidapi.com/recipes/search?diet=vegetarian&excludeIngredients=coconut&intolerances=egg%2C+gluten&number=10&offset=0&type=main+course&query=burger")
.header("X-RapidAPI-Host", "spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.rapidapi.com")`

returns 0 results for me on the RapidAPI endpoint.  I used many of my daily rate limit calls testing this, with simple queries like `&query=burger`, with the same results.

the example might be poorly chosen, we're updating our API docs at the moment. The endpoint is not broken though, if you just search for query=burger you get results like on the complex recipe search

We are also working on speed!
