Search messages within "n" categories.

Question

Hi,&nbsp;There are "n" categories and boards in a&nbsp;community.Prevoiusly to search messages from whole communnity, I was using the below rest call :/search/messages?q=&lt;SearchString&gt;&amp;collapse_discussion=false&nbsp;Suppose I want to search messages from community excluding one category/borad.How&nbsp;to do this using REST V1 call.&nbsp;If not V1 then V2 will be acceptable.&nbsp;Thanks,Vishwajeet

vishwajeet_hol - Did you check this?SELECT * FROM messages WHERE category.id IN ('wireless', 'routers')http://community.lithium.com/t5/Community-API-v2/Message-resource/ta-p/113091

Thanks for replying&nbsp;VarunGrazitti,I have already checked that.&nbsp;That will be an allternative solution as I am going to search&nbsp;by query string, author and tag&nbsp;If I use REST V2 call then I have to use "Sybject matches 'string', Body matches 'string', etc"I have to handle all these&nbsp;conditions. And how will I filter by tags, is also an issue.&nbsp;Instead of this if there is any REST V1 call, then it will be good for me.&nbsp;Thanks,Vishwajeet

In that case, you can restructure your boards and put in a different category and make a V1 call.I hope this helps.
