filterTypeDateRange

This filter applies the Boolean NOT operation to another filter thereby producing the opposite search results of the contained filter.

filterTypeNot

This filter combines two or more filter objects using a Boolean OR operation thereby creating the union of their individual search results

filterTypeOr

The different query types that can be used to search for objects. See specific query definitions for more details.

query

The request to perform an action on data specified by a query.

queryRequest

This query combines two or more query objects using a Boolean AND operation thereby creating the intersection of their individual search results.

queryTypeAnd

This query allows resolved entity objects to be searched by their compound values (globally unique text fragments based on the values extracted from the resolved entity's contributing objects). Resolved entity objects containing one or more matching compounds will be included in the search results. These values are not expected to be known by users/clients but rather they can be extracted from the results of an earlier free-text or geospatial search.

queryTypeCompound

This query allows objects to be searched by their type and identifier. Objects with matching types and identifiers will be included in the search results. These values are not necessarily expected to be known by users/clients but rather they can be extracted from an earlier search result.

queryTypeObject

This query combines two or more query objects using a Boolean OR operation thereby creating the union of their individual search results.

queryTypeOr

This is the main query object and represents a free text query in a specified query language. Objects matching one or more query terms will be included in the search results.

relationshipStyle

The request to /searches when performing a search including the object types to search, the query, filter, and selection criteria, as well as which visualizations to return

searchRequest

The response from /searches when performing a search including the various visualizations that can be returned.

searchResponse

The criteria by which search results are marked as selected. In order to perform certain tasks within SAS Visual Investigator, such as adding search results to a workspace or expanding nodes in a network, the search results must first be selected. Manually selecting large numbers of results can be tedious and therefore SAND allows manual selection to be combined with query-based selection (all matching objects are marked as selected) and facet-based selection (all objects matching any of the filters will be marked as selected). The filter parameter represents the facet-based selection; the include parameter represents the manual and query based selections; the exclude parameter represents the manual and query based de-selections. All parameters are optional such that selections can be made by filter only, by include query only, or by object references and compound values. Objects matching either the filter or the include parameter will be selected as long as they do not match the exclude parameter.

selection

The query-based selection as well as the object references and compound values representing the manually included or excluded hits.
