Support Boolean/Exact Phrase/Wildcard Character operators when searching Titles

General Requirement

• Assume we want to always pass advancedsearch=true in the GET Titles request.

• Developer documentation: http://10.80.3.221:4662/guides/overviewsearch.html

Boolean Search

• Can only conduct a Boolean search when advancedsearch=true and Boolean operators NOT/OR/AND are in all caps

• If both requirements are not met then the search will be no different than the current search behavior

Exact Phrase Search

• Can only conduct an exact phrase search when advancedsearch=true and search query is enclosed by "double quotation marks"

• If both requirements are not met then the search will be no different than the current search behavior

• When conducting an "exact phrase search" then RM API will return any title that contains the exact phrase. Example below.

Wildcard

• Can only conduct an exact phrase search when advancedsearch=true and search query includes an asterisk

• If both requirements are not met then the search will be no different than the current search behavior

• When conducting a wildcard search then RM API will return any title that contain the characters in the search query. Example below.

• NOTE: per Mohan this behavior will be corrected but no timeframe right now. The better behavior is for the search to return results that start with the characters entered to search.

Nested search

• Nested searches are supported as long as search is enclosed with parentheses AND advancedsearch=true. Example below.
