### search_stories

Title filtering is applied client-side to the current page of results.

| `page` | integer | No | Page number for pagination. |
| `tags` | string | No | Tag name to filter stories by (e.g. 'worm', 'original', 'rwby'). Matches the site's tag vocabulary. Omitting returns all stories. |
