Overview

A search filter, "filter=search(<search_term>)", must be specified in the REST API while searching or filtering contents in the Community search endpoint. This is not explicitly stated in the API documentation when you installed the RESTClient API since it is a third-party add-on extension only available for Mozilla Firefox browsers.

Thus, this article demonstrates the steps on how you can search through the Jive Community or filter the creation date of certain contents, be it a blog or a shared document that you are looking for.

Requirements

• Installed Firefox browser version 57 or later.
• Enabled Firefox Add-on, RESTClient version 3.0.7 or later.
• Successful completion of JIVE-210 Beginner Rest APIs.
