In short:
- fetch & show actual summary
- fallback to "name" if "name_cn" is empty
- request larger responseGroup to get & display the summary & rating
- add type filter query param to make Bangumi filter, not us
Previously, we only displayed the "name" in the summary area and used
"name_cn" as the entry name. However, "name_cn" (Chinese name) can be
an empty string at times, resulting in an awkward looking search
result list where some, many, or even all the results have no title
displayed and only show the "name" (Japanese name) in the summary
area. This has been solved by using "name" as a fallback value should
"name_cn" be empty.
By using the "responseGroup=large" query parameter, we can request
the required data we need to display the actual summary for an entry
and the entry's average rating.
The "name" is prepended to the summary contents, if any exist, so it
is still accessible for series identification if a "name_cn" exists
too and was used for the result title.
Adding the "type=1" filter query parameter means Bangumi will only
return entries of type 1 ("book") instead of all types and Mihon
needing to filter, resulting in potentially missed entry matches.

don't show the name?
But the "name" field is the JP name. The search entry title is normally the Chinese name unless that doesn't exist, then it falls back to the JP name.
We've previously shown the JP name in the summary, thought it would be convenient for users to be able to see it still.

Sadly, Bangumi does not return any data on start or end dates in the search, no matter what responseGroup is used. Their data on this is sometimes contradictory at best anyway and often mixes Japanese and Chinese release dates.
