Topic: Perform search with OR conditions

Hello, I would like to make a search over Task. I would like to filter by the subject.name=peter or requester.name=peter or ... but I can't find the way to write the query or if that's even possible.

You could send a batch containing two queries or you could use _filter or you could use graphQL. Those are the only mechanisms I'm aware of. It can't be done with a simple RESTful query unless you design a custom search parameter that matches on both subject.name and requester.name and get the relevant server(s) to implement that.

I will check it out but looks like _filter can be what I need. Sorry, I should have seen that in the docs. thanks

Be aware that _filter isn't supported that widely.

"OR" on the same property is through the ',' eg patient?name=brian,lloyd
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 07 2019 at 00:46):
Right, but the request was for OR of distinct properties
Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 07 2019 at 01:05):
Ok, missed that part.

another hack is to create search parameter with both names and use comma
