Can we say "this server only supports POST searches, not GET search"?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 30 2021 at 15:45):
I believe that's legal to say. (The reverse is not.) However, I don't think we provide a standard computable mechanism of saying it.

Q2: How can we limit the search parameters when chaining? e.g. AllergyIntolerance:patient.identifier is OK, but AllergyIntolerance:patient.gender is not.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 30 2021 at 16:06):
You define a custom SearchParameter based on the 'official' SearchParameter that lists the chains you support.

Is it legal for an IG to say: "servers (claiming conformance to xyz) must support GET searches, in addition to POST search"?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 30 2021 at 16:34):
Sure

@Lloyd McKenzie @Michele Mottini @Gino Canessa Does chaining allow for MulipleAnd and MulipleOr searches appended to them?
Ie. Chaining w/MulipleOr (GET [base]/Endpoint?organization.name=Kaiser%20Permanente,GE%20Care) where we get all endpoints for the Organization that match the name “Kaiser Permanente” OR “GE Care".
and Chaining with MulipleAnd GET [base]/Patient?general-practitioner.name=Joe&name=Jim&name=Jeff) Giving you Patients named Jim and Patients named Jeff who have a Practitioner named Joe?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 30 2021 at 18:49):
Yes, though be aware that if you were to say Patient?general-practitioner.name=Joe&general-practitioner.name=Smith, that would match on a patient who had GPs named Joe Johnson and Jane Smith. I.e. the 'and' and 'or' are evaluated in the context of the base, not the chained reference.

@Lloyd McKenzie Thank you!! What you described above I believe I understand thanks to the great "Multiple Chain" discussion earlier on of which you and others I tagged were a part of, thanks again.
Last 2 questions...
1-Is it the case that GET [base]/Patient?general-practitioner.name=Joe&name=Sam would match Patients named Sam who had a Practitioner with the name of Joe?
2- Is this a valid example of a Chained search or combined search or both?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 30 2021 at 20:22):
- yes
- both. general-practitioner.name is a chained search criteria and you're specifying multiple search parameters, so I guess that's a combined search. "combined" isn't a formal term in FHIR.
Caitlin Ryan (Mar 30 2021 at 20:24):
@Lloyd McKenzie thanks for the quick response and clarification!
