Using /Search/Hint

 

I've noticed the server is no longer returning item ids. The webclient uses /Items with the param searchterms, should I switch to that?

 

This is what I get now.

{
      "ItemId": 0,
      "Id": 0,
      "Name": "Hell's Kitchen",
      "PrimaryImageTag": "813aef67a559f87391c599f97c45a99d",
      "BackdropImageTag": "a573af88592976693ffea8116f9e674a",
      "BackdropImageItemId": "0",
      "Type": "Series",
      "IsFolder": true,
      "RunTimeTicks": 27000000512,
      "AlbumId": 0,
      "PrimaryImageAspectRatio": 0.68
    },

Yes, you need to switch.  4.2 no longer supports that old search end point.

I can fix that but yes I would advise switching.

I think the search via Items could be improved if the same behavior as Search/Hint is implemented.

 

For example, in my show library, I have the Borgias with id 169 (pooled). But when I used the webclient search, it returns the Borgias with id 158 (pooled but hidden). The search should return the one that is found in library (169).

Neither one is actually hidden. The one that comes back depends on filters chosen, and it both meet the criteria then either one could be sent back.

[Angelblue05 4132]

With search hint I never had the one that's pooled (not displayed in library) returned. Anyway, no big deal. I just thought I'd mention it. Thanks for your replies.

Right but there are changes in 4.2 to allow all grouped versions to utilize all features such as filtering. Previously you could only filter against one arbitrary chosen one, now you can filter against all of them. Your filter and sort criteria could end up impacting which ones comes out of the query.

FYI

 

In swagger, the searchterm key does not appear under users/{userid}/items

 

Is it available pre-4.2 as well?

I'll look at that, but yes, SearchTerm has been around since 4.0+. I believe it was in 3.5 but I'd have to double check. In other words, it's been long enough now that you don't need to bother worrying about using the old way for older servers anymore.

[Luke 42077]

Yes, 3.5+.
