I want to find teams logos..

1. when using API, i get empty results:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/3/searchteams.php?t=1.FC+Slovacko

2. Using websearch in the browser works fine..
https://www.thesportsdb.com/search.php?s=1.FC+Slovacko

Who can advice ? may be there is some other endpoint to be used ?
Thanks

V2 API has the same full text search as the website now. Thats the only way really, but you need to be a supporter to use it.

Hey, I noticed same problems here with V2 premium api
Input: Dinamo Bucharest
UI found: https://www.thesportsdb.com/team/134121-dinamo-bucure ști
API result: {
"Message": "No data found"
}

Input: Besiktas Handball
UI: https://www.thesportsdb.com/team/142787-be şiktaş-jk-handball
API: {
"Message": "No data found"
}
