Fulltext search?
Posted 27 Dec 2015, 18:25:08
I've just had a look at this forum post from 2012: http://www.setlist.fm/forum/setlistfm/setlistfm-api/upcoming-api-update-oct-2-2012-fulltext-search-bd6b976
It mentions full text search being added to the API, but I can't find any documentation for using it looking here http://api.setlist.fm/docs/rest.0.1.search.setlists.html.
There are only parameters for more specific searches.
Any comments on the availability of this feature would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply.
The forum post says:
…will bring fulltext search capabilities to all existing API methods
This means that the search terms of the existing methods don't have to be exact anymore:
…search methods will no longer require exact matches, the results of searches by name (artist, tour, venue, city, state) will typically be a superset of the current results
There's currently no generic setlist search method, you'll always have to specify at least one property (artist, venue, date, …).
Hope that helps,
cheers
