Search with .type filter doesn't work

This looks like a bug (I am logging a ticket). In the mean time it looks like it is possible to supply the Matrix parameter before the Filter,

i.e. move the "count=0" before the ".type(state)" like:

Thank you Walter for the workaround

Walter's approach does not work as you expect. Filters must be specified before matrix parameters. If the filter is specified after a matrix parameter it is ignored.

The actual problem is that the .type filter requires either a placetype code or a placetype name. Since placetype names may be country- and language-specific (e.g. State is Stato in Italian), you should use placetype codes (e.g. 8 for State/Stato) when you don't know the correct placetype name in the requested language and country.

Try the following code:

CODE

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/place/23424977/children.type(8);count=0?appid=xxxx&lang=it

Ok I undestand now. I think the placetype name in .type filter should accept only English names even if the lang is "it", in any case, for me the placetype code is the right solution.

Thank you,
