/youku/shows/search
Search the Youku catalogue by keyword and get back shows — dramas, films, variety shows, anime, documentaries and kids titles. Every result carries the show id and URL, the Chinese title, category and artwork. The rest of the card is shape-dependent: a handful of results per keyword, at no fixed position in the returned list, are rich cards that also carry the tagline, synopsis, release year, episode count and completion state and the VIP flag, while the sibling-seasons and related-shows cards that make up most of a keyword’s results carry none of those — for those rows only the id, title, category and artwork are filled, and the synopsis, episode count and VIP flag come back null rather than filtered out.
