    Hi,

     

    wouldn't it be an option to just consider an extra call per thread returned by search? I believe this would be acceptable from a performance perspective (assuming the search result page is paged)

     

    For example 

    http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/threads/id/129799?page_size=1

     (we use page_size=1 as we are not really interested in the details of all the replies) - will tell you how many replies your thread had and the details about the solution (if available). If we search for a topic which has no solution (this one, at the time of writing :-) )

    http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/threads/id/62298?page_size=1

     We can see that there is nothing in the solutions element.

     

    Thanks,

        That's great Noora , thanks for sharing your implementation example. And don't forget to mark the suggestion as a solution so that it may help others in the future! 

         

        Kind Regards,
