Searching summary and description with the API

api
search

I'm trying to use the get filtered issues functionality of the API to search for issues, and I've a couple of questions:

  1. It appears that you must supply a project ID no matter what. At least, I had to include one to do searches with IssueID or SearchKeywords. I tried using the various project ID stand-ins that I've seen in Gemini, including -1, -2, and NULL, but none did the job. Is there a workaround that would let me search all projects at once without including all of their IDs?

  2. Is there a way to do a partial-match search against IssueID (or other fields)? We're creating an integration plugin for PhpStorm and want to provide an auto-completion feature for the user that's not too dissimilar to the search feature built into Gemini's issue linking feature, but we need partial matches searches to get this to work well.

  3. Is there a way to search against just the summary and description? It would be helpful to narrow things down a bit more than what doing a search SearchKeywords allows.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you have to pass id all the project ids you'd like to search in. Feel free to add it to our list (eg -2 to search for all projects): http://gemini.countersoft.com

I'm not sure I follow regarding partial match. Do you mean matching keywords against title and description as you type?

At the moment keyword search will search all issue propreties (title, description, comments and custom fields).

Can you give a sample of what you are trying to do?

On the partial match bit, it may be working okay for what we need - will get back to you if necessary.

In my last question, it would be helpful if we could specifically search against just the description or just the summary. Doing a keyword search catches both of these, but a using more restrictive option could increase performance and allow for better targeting of a search so as to limit the number of issue matches from which the user must choose.
