Request URL

The Search Record URL has the following formats:
URL for a simple search
Use the following URL for a simple search:
http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?q=<string value>
Make the following HTTP GET request to the Search Record URL:
GET http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?q=<string value>
URL for a fielded search
Use the following URL for a fielded search:
http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?fq=<business entity field name>='<business entity field value>'
If you specify a negative numerical value for a business entity field, such as
-120
, the ranking of the records that are returned might be affected.
URL for a facets search
Use the following URL for a simple search with facets:
http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?q=<string value>&facets=<field name>
Use the following URL for a fielded search with facets:
http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?fq=<business entity field name>='<business entity field value>'&facets=<field name>
URL for a filter search
Use the following URL for a simple search with filters:
http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?q=<string value>&filters=<field name1>=<field value1> AND <field name2>=<field value2> ...
Use the q or the fq parameter in the search.

The following example shows the URL encoded representation of the Search Record URL:
http://<host>:<port>/<context>/<database ID>/<business entity>?q=<field name>%3D%27<value of the field>
