https://{your-workspace-slug}.{region}.xata.sh/db/db_branch_name/tables/table_name/search
This endpoint performs full text search in a particular table.
Expected Parameters
Name | Description | In | Required | Schema |

Free Text Search in a Table
POSThttps://{your-workspace-slug}.{region}.xata.sh/db/db_branch_name/tables/table_name/search
Run a free text search operation in a particular table.
The endpoint accepts a query
parameter that is used for the free text search and a set of structured filters (via the filter
parameter) that are applied before the search. The filter
parameter uses the same syntax as the query endpoint with the following exceptions:
- filters
$contains
,$startsWith
,$endsWith
don't work on columns of typetext
- filtering on columns of type
multiple
is currently unsupported
Request Body Example
{
"query": "after a long day",
"filter": {
"firstName": "Abigail"
}
}
