How to Use Search

The search feature allows you to filter results by searching for text across all or specific fields. Choose between ?q= or ?search= parameter names.

1. Basic Search

Search across all text fields:

Basic Search
GET https://api.mockly.codes/messages?q=laptop

2. Search Specific Fields

Field-Specific Search
GET https://api.mockly.codes/messages?q=laptop&search_fields=name,description

💡 Pro Tips

  • •Search is case-insensitive and performs partial matching
  • •Without search_fields, all text fields are searched
  • •Combine with pagination to handle large result sets efficiently
