is the items search only available for UGC catalogs?

Hi,

I am currently trying to implement the search endpoints but noticed the documentation (here) is placed under the UGC category. Is there no search for regular catalogs? What is the best practice to only fetch a fraction of items instead of fetching possibly hundreds if not thousands of items in a catalog? How would we for example only fetch the currently 10 featured items in a catalog or the first 50 of class sword?

Thanks in advance

Currently, PlayFab doesn't support such features, the items search feature is only available for UGC catalogs. If you want this feature available for regular catalogs, please feel free to post a feature request for it.

As an alternative, you can create different catalogs for different types of items, which makes it easier to search for items. As for "only fetch the currently 10 featured items in a catalog or the first 50 of class sword", you can use CloudScript or Azure Function to implement an item search function according to your needs.
