Advanced search

Important note: some parts of the documentation on advanced search may be obsolete and not clear. Work in progress.

Note:  _ _ is used here to separate two symbols which are not separated in the real query. q=(index_operator"searchvalue" logic not index_operator_"searchvalue") logic not (index_operator_"searchvalue" logic not index_operator_"searchvalue")

Operators

Operators are represented in the query template by symbol: operator The supported operators are:

  • = : this is the basic equal. Means that a regular expression search will be performed
  • == : This is the exact search. Only exact matching result will be find. Useful when searching for an uri (to find a specific resource)
  • <= : lesser than. Works only if the search object type is compatible with search a search (number, date)
  • = : greater than. Works only if the search object type is compatible with search a search (number, date)
