var resp client.Response
// finds results
err := client.Search(&resp, cfg, "node-xray", svc, "^package.json", 0, false, false)

// Actual Behavior - resp still holding results from first call.

Contributor guide

Research direction

Inspect the Search function in the client library to understand how it modifies the response object on failure. Check if the response is only updated on success and remains unchanged on error.
