## Changelog

### 0.2 — 2026-09-20

#### Features

- Added `searchQuery` and one-based `searchRank` to every result for multi-keyword analysis.
- Added optional `deduplicateResults` to keep the first occurrence of each Metacritic ID across overlapping searches.

#### Reliability

- Added status-aware bounded retry backoff, explicit first-page failures, and clear partial-result warnings for later-page failures.
- Results are now saved before their per-result charge is emitted, so charges align with persisted output.

#### Documentation

- Added complete dataset field metadata and corrected user-score and FREE/BRONZE pricing claims.

### 0.1 — 2026-03-03

- Initial public release with Metacritic search and structured movie, TV, and game results, including scores, release details, genres, descriptions, and source URLs.
