multiple identifier search does not work

[mingdatacom]

Hello All,

In HAPI FHIR 3.6 this worked
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseDstu3/Organization?identifier=FDS-BusinessId%7C965214&identifier=2.16.840.1.113883.3.79%7C1000005
returned Bundle with 1 result

In HAPI FHIR 3.7 Bundle with 0 result
Was there a change in the spec or is there a bug?

Thanks,

Having multiple identifier parameters is an AND search, so that will only match organizations that have both of those identifiers. Are you sure you aren't looking for an OR search? e.g.

http://hapi.fhir.org/baseDstu3/Organization?identifier=FDS-BusinessId%7C965214,2.16.840.1.113883.3.79%7C1000005

I think it's an issue with all AND searches. There are countless patients on the test server named John Smith, but Patient?name=john&name=smith returns 0 results. Patient?given=john&name=smith and Patient?name=john&family=smith return paged results; it only fails when using name for both.

Yes we are looking for an AND search i.e an organization having both these identifiers, this is the result using one identifier (http://hapi.fhir.org/baseDstu3/Organization?identifier=FDS-BusinessId%7C965214) :

"entry": [
    {
      "fullUrl": "http://hapi.fhir.org/baseDstu3/Organization/941836",
      "resource": {

        "id": "941836",

        },
        "identifier": [
          {
            "system": "FDS-BusinessId",
            "value": "965214"

          {

Steps to verify it works on 3.6:

1. Download https://github.com/jamesagnew/hapi-fhir/releases/download/v3.6.0/hapi-fhir-3.6.0-cli.zip
2. Extract and execute hapi-fhir-cli run-server -v dstu3
3. Create organization create-organization-2.txt

curl -vX POST http://localhost:8080/baseDstu3/Organization --header "Content-Type: application/json" -d @create-organization-2.txt

4. Search organization

curl -s "http://localhost:8080/baseDstu3/Organization?identifier=FDS-BusinessId%7C965214&identifier=2.16.840.1.113883.3.79%7C1000005"

  }
],

      },

        {
