Usage Notes

For more details, see Configuring Query Options in the REST Application Developer's Guide.

The request body must be a valid search:options node, expressed in either XML or JSON, depending upon the request Content-Type header or format parameter. See the Usage Notes, below.

By default, options are validated. Options validation can be disabled using the /config/properties service.

If the named options do not exist, they are created. If the named options exist, the options in the request body replace the existing query options.

If {name} is default, the default search options are modified.

Query options are expressed as a multi-level JSON or XML structure. The following list is brief summary of the top level option XML elements or JSON objects. For details, see Search Customization Using Query Options in the Search Developer's Guide and Appendix: Query Options Reference in the Search Developer's Guide.
