# /api/v1/search

Run searches over the indexed objects, or over a different domain selected by the request `type` (`pool`, `collection`, `event`, `message`, `user`, `group` or `acl`). `POST /search` takes a `SearchRequest` body; `GET /search` takes the same request as a JSON string in the `BODY` query parameter so the call can be cached. Both return a `SearchResponse` with the total `count` and the requested page of `objects`, restricted to what the requesting user may read.

Differs from easydb 5: the searchable domains are `pool`, `collection`, `event`, `message`, `user`, `group` and `acl` (plus the default object search). easydb 5 has no `event` domain, and **fylr** has no `pool_management` domain (easydb 5 documents `pool_management` to search pools with `bag_write`).

From version 6.34.0, every element of the `search` array accepts a `boost` parameter (number, default `1`), with the semantics known from easydb 5: a higher boost gives objects matching that element a higher `_score`. Combine `bool: should` elements with different boosts and sort by `_score` to rank preferred matches first.

### `GET /search` — Search for objects (cacheable).
