This module provides a Services resource that enables a remote application to search for content and users on your site using Drupal core's search features. It's developed for Services 7.x-3.x as a reimplementation of the search service that was available in Services 6.x-2.x. If someone wants to help maintain this project going forward, they're more than welcome!

Requirements

• Services 7.x-3.x
  (The 3.0 version is incompatible with Services 7.x-3.2 and later. Please use the -dev version and report your results here.)

Usage

To expose your site's search feature as a JSON REST service, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Services endpoint with a path of your choice, e.g. services. Choose the REST server.
2. Edit the endpoint's resources and check search_node and/or search_user.
3. Edit the server settings and choose JSON as formatter.
4. Try the service's URLs in a browser:
   • http://my.server.com/services/search_node/retrieve.json?keys=test for content search.
   • http://my.server.com/services/search_node/retrieve.json?keys=test&simple=1 for content search with a simpler result format.
   • http://my.server.com/services/search_user/retrieve.json?keys=name for user search.

Credits

Based on the search service in the 6.x version of Services. Development supported by RFSU (Swedish Association for Sexuality Education) and SthlmConnection.
