Topic: search param definition bug?

Id: string: https://hl7-fhir.github.io/search.html#table https://hl7-fhir.github.io/datatypes.html#id
or token: https://hl7-fhir.github.io/resource.html#search

I was assuming string, but then found this tracker that seems to say token (just for modifier restrictions): http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/project/fhir/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_id=677&tracker_item_id=6123

And if so, what happens to the "system" part of the normal token parameter? (and this feels awkward since the id is not a "code")

Jenni Syed (Mar 16 2016 at 17:29):

Though, if I read further down in that search table, it talks about strings system being "n/a".. So it's primarily the search.html page and the resource.html page inconsistency that's weird

what's the inconsistency? it should be a token, since you want an exact match , not string matching semantics

Jenni Syed (Mar 16 2016 at 21:53):

I think the confusion is primarily that https://hl7-fhir.github.io/search.html#table states String for the _id search param and https://hl7-fhir.github.io/resource.html#search states token. After reading the https://hl7-fhir.github.io/resource.html#search table further, I see that it calls out that fields with datatype of string (using a token search param) as not having a system and talks about token being used for exact match semantics.

ok Jenni, thanks - can you create task to fix that?

Grahame Grieve (Mar 16 2016 at 22:15):

(the summary table)

Jenni Syed (Mar 16 2016 at 22:21):

Is https://hl7-fhir.github.io/dataelement.html#6.22.3.3 really meant to link to a business doing Retail & Restaurant Predictive technology, or to a biomedical/clinical research model (http://bridgmodel.nci.nih.gov/about_bridg) instead?
