Topic: Composite search parameters
Brendan Keeler (Dec 07 2021 at 23:05):
Might be going insane, but this page says Composite search parameters support joining single values with a $ but then says /Patient?language=FR&language=NL which uses a &.

& is for different parameters, $ is for values of the same parameter - examples are further down. Wording is confusing, there might even be a Jira ticket to improve it.
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 07 2021 at 23:21):
It's not wrong, but agree the verbiage is confusing. Suggest replacing the sentence with "Composite search parameters allow combining multiple values into a single parameter." The discussion of the use of '$' happens further down after we're finished talking about 'and' and 'or' mechanics, so it would be best to not list it before. Care to submit a change request @Brendan Keeler?

Sure, can do
Josh Mandel (Dec 07 2021 at 23:28):
We already have a task to fix this.
