Hi JayaPrakash,

 

Unfortunately this is how the search works, but you can try to include specific boards in the search query if you know what boards you should be searching. Sample call could look like

http://community.ebay.com/restapi/vc/search/messages?q=billing&board_ids=board1,board2 .....

 

Also, there is another keyword called 'without' where you pass in the "without term" so that search returns you the results without that term (but I can understand that it might be difficult to limit these kind of words to a small list)

Let me know if this helps.

 

Regards,
Chhama

    Hi Chhama,

     

    Difficult to limit the words in the "without term'. Is there anyway to filter the relevant thread alone from the REST API call.

     

    Thanks,
