How to model search API in rest world? Using get or put verb? Search query is in the request body as json object.

@fmueller_bln As a general principle, a search should be done via GET. There are exceptions.

@stilkov @fmueller_bln how do you deal with the URL size limit?

@ewolff @fmueller_bln As I said, exceptions. Most of the time, the limit (4-8k these days) won’t bite you. It if does, switch to PRG pattern

@stilkov @ewolff @fmueller_bln lets not forget our good friend IE with a 2k Limit ;-)

@simkoelsch @stilkov @ewolff @fmueller_bln also search Engines seems to have problems with URL > 2k: stackoverflow.com/a/417184

@phaus @simkoelsch @ewolff @fmueller_bln All true, although not that relevant if you’re talking about API URIs.

@stilkov @phaus @ewolff @fmueller_bln I was thinking that the limit also applies to the browsers java script engine which might matter?
