Search helper

We want to provide an omni-search/ElasticSearch style search function and the most flexible approach is by doing the search completely on the server-side.

Therefore we are gonna copy the leader in search and define the URL for searching this way (see [1]):

https://api.example.com/v1/search?q=fluffy+dragon.

We already have a generic full-text search mechanism defined for all resources. Why not use the same mechanism but apply it on the root resource (https://api.example.com/v1/?q=fluffy+dragon), this way we don't have to break the REST principal (method versus resource). The search will then return simple JSON objects with a type and a location URI. The actual resources on which to apply the search filter, will be defined on the server side --Chrigu (talk) 15:24, 16 December 2013 (CET)

Reseller search example: https://api.example.com/v1/resellers/?q=fluffy+dragon. TBD. Diese Variante beschreiben.
