Search for a term

The query string needs to be url encoded and is made up of the following options:

• Search term. This is just a string. Usually it would be the first item in the query.
• @<username>: Use the @ followed by the username to specify posts by this user.
• #<category>: Use the # followed by the category slug to search within this category.
• tags:: api,solved or for posts that have all the specified tags api+solved.
• before:: yyyy-mm-dd
• after:: yyyy-mm-dd
• order:: latest, likes, views, latest_topic
• assigned:: username (without @)
• in:: title, likes, personal, messages, seen, unseen, posted, created, watching, tracking, bookmarks, assigned, unassigned, first, pinned, wiki
• with:: images
• status:: open, closed, public, archived, noreplies, single_user, solved, unsolved
• group:: group_name or group_id
• group_messages:: group_name or group_id
• min_posts:: 1
• max_posts:: 10
• min_views:: 1
• max_views:: 10

If you are using cURL you can use the -G and the --data-urlencode flags to encode the query:

curl -i -sS -X GET -G "http://localhost:3000/search.json" \
--data-urlencode 'q=wordpress @scossar #fun after:2020-01-01'
