Hi,

I have Snowstorm selfhosted and I would like to know what the different search modes are:

and if you can provide me with examples for "REGEX" and "WILDCARD".

Thanks,

@CoderMChu Many thanks! This was very helpful.

I'm still in description endpoint. Could you please also explain what, "active" and "conceptRefset" are and how to use them?

[CoderMChu]

@MALSAIED When searching active descriptions only, you can set the "active" flag to true. By default it searches for both active and inactive. There is another flag called "conceptActive". You can use this to filter search results to display active concepts only.

@MALSAIED You can use "conceptRefset" flag to filter search results for concepts belong to a specific refset only.
e.g Aggregation results from description search:

By filtering "conceptRefset" with 1157358007, it will just return 1 search result.

Note: 1157358007 | International Classification for Nursing Practice reference set
