Search messages within "n" categories.

Hi,

 

There are "n" categories and boards in a community.

Prevoiusly to search messages from whole communnity, I was using the below rest call :

/search/messages?q=<SearchString>&collapse_discussion=false

 

Suppose I want to search messages from community excluding one category/borad.

How to do this using REST V1 call.

 

If not V1 then V2 will be acceptable.

 

Thanks,

Vishwajeet

      Thanks for replying VarunGrazitti,

      I have already checked that. 

      That will be an allternative solution as I am going to search by

      • query string,
      • author and
      • tag 

      If I use REST V2 call then I have to use "Sybject matches 'string', Body matches 'string', etc"

      I have to handle all these conditions. And how will I filter by tags, is also an issue.

       

      Instead of this if there is any REST V1 call, then it will be good for me.

       

      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.
