Overview attribute returned in movie search

Hi, I am working a little project of my own and I was wondering if you had considered adding the "overview" field from the "Movie" API function to the "Search Movie" function's results. When searching for a movie, it's nice a bit of the story line and it would prevent developpers from having to make some more API calls. Thanks!

At this time we have no plans on adding overview to the search results. There is an open ticket about ways we I might add the ability to combine requests into a single request but I never planned on changing the search results.

Ok.Too bad :( Looking forward to your combine request feature. Thanks for your answer.

The referenced ticket says it's been moved to "resolved" but I still don't see how to use it. Could you clarify if and when this feature will be implemented?

Hi acheyer,
We completed the ability to append other responses to requests (see the
append_to_responseparameter), but there is no ability to do this on the "list" responses, ie. search results, popular, now playing etc...
