Ajay Yadava commented on FALCON-1095:
-------------------------------------
These are excellent ideas, however a couple of suggestions
* We should *NOT* add a new API, we should extend and improve existing API.
More than one API for similar tasks will add to confusion for end users. We
should start a discussion thread on mailing list to discuss making entity type
optional for all APIs as I am also of opinion that it makes the api verbose.
* Allowing regular expressions symbols like (.) & ( * ) for the search query
will defeat the purpose of making API more user friendly. We should use fuzzy
search api for this purpose as this is more convenient.
> Support free-text search for entities

> Key: FALCON-1095
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1095
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Ying Zheng
> Fix For: 0.7
>
>
> When users have hundreds or thousands of entities to manage, they may not
> remember the exact name/tag of the entity. We would like to provide a more
> convenient way for the user to search an entity by providing keywords in name
> and tags. We also plan to provide a search UI, similar to Visual Search, to
> allow the user to enter keywords in a search box and display the filtered
> results. The user can click on the entity to view details and search its
> instances as well.
> To support free-text search, we plan to add a new API: GET api/entities/search
> Parameters (all optional)
> name A subsequence of name. Not case sensitive.
> tags Keywords on tag, separated by comma. Not case sensitive.
> type Valid options are feed and process.
> orderBy Column by which results should be ordered. Default is “name”.
> sortOrder Valid options are "asc" and “desc”. Default is “asc”.
> offset Show results from the offset. Used for pagination. Default
> is 0.
> numResults Number of results to show per request. Used for pagination. Only
> integers > 0 are valid. Default is 10.
> e.g. falcon entity -search -name housetexas -tags estate
> This should return the entity with name "houseSellTexas" and tags
> "category=realestate".
