internel server error (Error returned whilst using the OMDB API)

I am trying to retrieve data using the OMDB API & keep being presented with 'internel server error' despite my data request: res.send(results["search"][0]) (Please note that I am using the goorm IDE)

var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var request = require("request");

app.get("/results", function(req, res){

    request("http://www.omdbapi.com/?s=california&apikey=thewdb", function(error, response, body){
        if(!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
            var results = JSON.parse(body);
            res.send(results["search"][0]);
        }
    });
});


app.listen(3000, function(){
    console.log("SERVER IS RUNNING");
});

Can you try it?

app.get("/results", (req, res) => {
    request("http://www.omdbapi.com/?s=california&apikey=thewdb", (error, response, body) => {
        (!error && response.statusCode == 200) ?
            res.send(JSON.parse(body).Search[0])
            :
            res.send({ err: error });
    });
});

Object properties in javascript are strings and they are case sensitive.

The response from OMDB is in Search field not search, so it should be

res.send(results["Search"][0]);
