blank spaces for Search service

Post by bradea » Mon Feb 22, 2016 4:32 pm

Hello

I receive 400 bad request for a search query after title where I've encoded the SPACES as %20:
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 20factored

why is it not working?

thanks

Hi,

The terms which you wish to search within a specific field identifier should be surrounded by quotation marks as in my example below:

The query is read from left to right.

Code: Select all

q="Human factored"
So, here is the URL as you should use it:
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 0factored"

Regards
OPS support
