Help Needed: Replicating Part-DB Web Interface Search Functionality via API

[Jdo300]

Hello Part-DB Community,

I am currently integrating the Part-DB API with an application that requires search functionality similar to what is available on the Part-DB web interface. Specifically, I am trying to replicate the behavior where typing a keyword (e.g., "10k") into the search box returns all relevant parts across multiple fields.

Here are the steps and issues I've encountered so far:

1. API Authentication:
I have successfully authenticated and can access various endpoints using my API token.

2. Search Endpoint:
I am using the /api/parts endpoint for my search queries.

3. Query Parameters:
To replicate the web interface search, I have tried querying across multiple fields such as name, description, tags, comment, and manufacturer_product_number. Here is an example of my API call:

curl -X GET "https://inventory.resonancegroupusa.com/api/parts?page=1&itemsPerPage=30&description=%2510k%25" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <api_token>"

Despite these efforts, the results do not match what I see when I use the search box on the Part-DB web interface. For example, the web interface returns 7 results for "10k", but the API call returns 2 results.

Questions:

1. Which fields does the Part-DB web interface search box query by default?
2. Are there specific query parameters or techniques I should be using to ensure comprehensive search results similar to the web interface?
3. Is there a recommended way to perform a keyword search across all relevant fields using the API?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Jason
