Do you want to search using a movie title?
As I said, it is not possible.
The Search API request does not have the ability to filter the response using the Genre parameter.
And the Discover API request does not have the ability to use a query for title, &query={searhedValue}.

I assume you are referring to Discover API Request.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-movie
Using Search you cannot filter by Genre.
Discover - Filter by Genre
First you need to have the list of Genres with their IDs.
The list of Genre IDs, for Movies and TV, can be found here:
get/genre/movie/list - https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-movie-list
get/genre/tv/list - https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-tv-list
For example, the Comedy Genre ID for movies is 35.
Knowing the Genre ID you want, make an API Request of type:
get / discover / movie
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie-discover
get / discover / tv
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/tv-discover
And use the with_genres and/or without_genres parameter.
More than one genre can be searched using the comma or pipe feature
AND (with Comma) &with_genres=35,37,80
OR (with Pipe) &with_genres=35|37|80
You cannot mix AND with OR. Either one or the other.
You can use any other filter simultaneously.
&year=, &sort_by=, &with_cast= etc...
Example

By the way, the possible filters for each are listed on the pages of each of them.
You can see for yourself the available/possible filters.
