SharkyKZ - thank you very much for breaking the silence. I'm not enough of a forum user to have intentionally 'self bumped' - but I now get the idea. Some people seem to know quite a bit about the Webservices stuff despite the lack of documentation. I presume they are either among the developers of this stuff or people who have spent much more time than most of us have poking around in the code and experimenting to figure out what kind of magic incantation they should send in a Webservices request to get anything beyond the same code examples to do what they want to do. I'd have sort of expected that somebody from one of those two cohorts would have written a (possibly impolite) note to let me know that what I was wanting to do cannot be done - yet? - or that it could be done and how to do it... Or at least a pointer to some presentation/documentation/video that explains it.
I understand that this is all voluntary and I don't have expectations that somebody owes me a response. I was just hoping that human decency and pride would be enough to stimulate responses from the appropriate individuals.
Now that we have that of of the way - I understand filter by author, category, state, featured, tag, and language. What is filter by "search"?? Does it search ALL the attributes of ALL the articles looking for a match to some string? Or just search the text attribute? What's the structure of a search request? (Can it be told in which attribute[s] it should search?)
How do you know this? The example code only shows filter by category. The rest seems to be up to the 'student' to figure out.
Thank you very much for your kind reply - and anything else you can share.
