Help with the Search API

[sandy73]

Hi,

I have installed the subsonic rest API version 1.8.0.

I wanted to use the search API but it is not returning me the proper result sometimes. And few of my songs does not have any metadata(ID3 tags), so I am not able to search those. Here is my search API:

http://localhost:4040/rest/search.view?u=my_username&p=my_password&v=1.8.0&c=myapp&title=losing%20my%20religion

Is this the right way to use the API? All other APIs are working fine, but this.

And also in the APIs documentation they have given that "search API" is deprecated. So I tried using "search2 API". But I am not sure how to give the query in that.

I tried this : http://localhost:4040/rest/search2.view?u=my_username&p=my_password&v=1.8.0&c=myapp&title=losing%20my%20religion. But it did not work.

1) So how do I user the query attribute for search2 API, can you please provide an example URL, like the ones I have shown ?

2) Will I get proper result if my songs does not have any metadata( ID3 tags). ?

Please help
