The Movie Database Support

Whenever I try to search for a movie with the API, I can't find the movie that should exist on the DB. When I use the website, I get the correct result as the first thing on the list.

My API request looks like this:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=Bridget+Jones+Verrueckt+nach+ihm

I get back:

{
    "page": 1,
    "results": [],
    "total_pages": 1,
    "total_results": 0
}

However, on the website I get one search result, which is the one I am looking for.

Thanks in advance!
