If the pre-canned queries (i.e. term based search) do not provide what you need you have the option to use the rich and powerful /search API, at the cost of a little more complexity. Due to the number of options and functionality available via the search API, it is a little different than most of the other search APIs. Firstly, the API is defined under the “search” namespace so it’s base URL is slightly different. Secondly, the /search endpoint does not accept any query parameters and is therefore completely controlled via the POST body as we’ll see in the examples that follow.
