If you use Podcast Index for your app's catalog, are you using the Podcast Index endpoint for search, too? Or do you roll your own search?

In other words, are your search results the same as PI's API?

Podverse mostly uses Podcast Index for search, but there is kind of a hybrid approach at the moment.

In general, we try to lean on PI to handle whatever we can let it handle.

@theDanielJLewis I’m building an iOS podcast app and I am using the PI APIs for everything.

@rademaker Awesome! When someone searches for a podcast in your app, do you just carry over the same results and order from PI?

@theDanielJLewis yes, that is the current behavior and I anticipate I’ll ship with this behavior.
