It's more than likely going to be lucene syntax for the moment in the query
field. This going to either be free text, Boolean operators or fielded
searches like title:foo AND author:bar

This is old legacy search, not discovery, you'd get actuall metadata field
search and facetting out of discovery if we ever create an API for it,
which has come up a couple times in dialog.

query=query&community=id or collection=I'd

Best,
Mark

adding .xml to any of my attempts seems to do nothing either. I have tried
every combination of brackets, slashes, ? and & but none have worked
although only a few seem to have actively failed. So could someone please
put me out of my misery and how me how to do a search something like:
