Content Search REST Endpoints
Simflofy Content Search Services provides a RESTful service to your indexes via a Content Search Connection
Configuration
A working Content Search Connection is required. When using these connections strictly for apis, only the authentication connection and default queries, are used.
SELECT
GET /api/search/<connectorId>/<collection>/select?
or
GET /api/search/<connectorId>/select?
note
If no collection is provided, the configured collection will be used. If none is present, an error will occur.
Query (q) Parameter
There is one query parameter allowed per search request. Mostly used for full text searches.
q=<field>:<value>
If a field is not included, the field will be set to content
Examples:
Query all:
q=*:*
Full text query:
q=Simflofy Rocks or q=content:Simflofy Rocks
Query name field with an OR clause:
q=name:Mike OR Ted
Query with NOT and AND clause:
q=location:London AND Frankfurt NOT Lebanon
Inclusion operators (+,-):
q=location:+London +Frankfurt -LebanonF
Field List (fl) Parameter
The majority of the time you do not want to return all fields in the result set. Similar to SQL where you only select the fields you want.
Example: fl=name,age,height
Example Complete Query:
Search users where age is 20-40 years old and live in the state of Tennessee return the name field as well as the facet statistics for the age field.
http://localhost:8080/simflofy-admin/api/search/users/select?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=age&fq=age:[20 TO 40]&fq=state:TN&fl=name&json.nl=map
Facet Field (facet.field) Parameter
This argument will take a list of fields that you want broken down into distinct values, such as counting content types.
facet.field=simflofy_content_type,age
Facet Query (fq) Parameter
You can have an unlimited number of facet query parameters.
info
Facet query fields must also be included in the facet.field list
Examples:
FQ by name:
fq=name:Mike
FQ date range:
fq=simflofy_lastmodified:[1995-12-31T23:59:59.999ZTO2007-03-06T00:00:00Z]
FQ number range:
fq=age:[20 TO 40]
FQ OR: (SOLR ONLY)
fq=age:((20) OR (40))
QUERY
POST /api/search/<connectorId>/<collection>/query
or
POST /api/search/<connectorId>/query
note
If no collection is provided, the configured collection will be used. If none is present, an error will occur.
Usage
None. This endpoint only accepts a body which is a raw query for the underlying indexing engine.
ElasticSearch - Performs a search using the /<index>/_search endpoint.
MongoDB - Performs a search as if using <collection>.find()
Solr - Same as SELECT, passes the full query to Solr.
