MHR API - Staff Serial Number Wild Card Search #30870
Description
For staff users searching by serial number, replace the existing search by compressed key with a wildcard search, matching on any serial numbers that contain the search value.
- Add a new request parameter "wildcardSearch=true"
- The default behaviour for staff when searching by serial number will remain unchanged - the current compressed key method.
Note: a wildcard search may return a large number of results. To ensure data integrity, searching captures a snapshot of the registrations at the time of the search. Wildcard searching with few characters could have a performance hit. Searching with more than 3 characters will improve performance and a smaller set of results.
