SharePoint Search REST API overview

Add search functionality to client and mobile applications using the Search REST service in SharePoint and any technology that supports REST web requests.

When you query in the context of a SharePoint Online user, you get results from:

  • Content in SharePoint Online site collections
  • Content in Microsoft 365 groups
  • Shared OneDrive for Business content (content that's accessible for others than the owner of the OneDrive for Business)
  • Content from SharePoint Server that's been indexed via a cloud search Service application. Learn about cloud hybrid search.

Content Delivery Network (CDN) Support

If the Office 365 Private or Public CDN is enabled to optimize performance for assets then this section applies to you. If your search results contain images that are served from the CDN, then the URL for the image will be the CDN URL that is returned in the results and not the asset library location. For more information on CDN please review Use the Office 365 Content Delivery Network (CDN) with SharePoint Online.

Querying with the Search REST service

Search in SharePoint includes a Search REST service you can use to add search functionality to your client and mobile applications by using any technology that supports REST web requests. You can use the Search REST service to submit Keyword Query Language (KQL) or FAST Query Language (FQL) queries in your SharePoint Add-ins, remote client applications, mobile applications, and other applications. The Search REST service supports both HTTP POST and HTTP GET requests.

GET requests

Construct the URI for query GET requests to the Search REST service as follows:

GET /_api/search/query

For GET requests, you specify the query parameters in the URL. You can construct the GET request URL in two ways:

GET http://server/_api/search/query?query_parameter=value&query_parameter=value
GET http://server/_api/search/query(query_parameter=value&amp;query_parameter=<value>)

POST requests

You construct the URI for query POST requests to the Search REST service as follows:

POST /_api/search/postquery

For POST requests, you pass the query parameters in the request in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. The HTTP POST version of the Search REST service supports all parameters supported by the HTTP GET version. However, some of the parameters have different data types, as described in Table 1.

Table 1. Query parameters with different data types for POST requests

Parameter Data type
SelectProperties string[]
RefinementFilters string[]
SortList Sort
HitHighlightedProperties string[]
Properties Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Query.KeywordQueryProperties

Use POST requests in the following scenarios:

  • When you'll exceed the URL length restriction with a GET request.
  • When you can't specify the query parameters in a simple URL. For example, if you have to pass parameter values that contain a complex type array, or comma-separated strings, you have more flexibility when constructing the POST request.
  • When you use the ReorderingRules parameter because it is supported only with POST requests.

Search REST results format

By default, results are returned in XML format. To get results in JSON format, add the following header to your request:

accept: application/json;odata=verbose

If you don't need metadata, you can instead use:

accept: application/json;odata=nometadata

Using query parameters with the Search REST service

When you make a call to the Search REST service, you specify query parameters with the request. Search in SharePoint uses these query parameters to construct the search query. With a GET request, you specify the query parameters in the URL. For POST requests, you pass the query parameters in the body in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. The following sections describe the query parameters you can use to submit search queries with the Search REST service.

QueryText parameter

A string that contains the text for the search query.

Sample GET request

GET http://{server}/_api/search/query?querytext='sharepoint'

Sample POST request

{
  'request': {
    'Querytext': 'sharepoint',
    'RowLimit': 20,
    'ClientType': 'ContentSearchRegular'
  }
}

QueryTemplate

A string that contains the text that replaces the query text, as part of a query transform.

Sample GET request

GET http://server/_api/search/query?querytext='sharepoint'&amp;querytemplate='{searchterms} author:johndoe'

Sample POST request

{
  '__metadata': {
      'type': 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchRequest'
   },
  'Querytext': 'sharepoint',
  'QueryTemplate': '{searchterms} Author:johndoe'
}

EnableInterleaving

A Boolean value that specifies whether the result tables that are returned for the result block are mixed with the result tables that are returned for the original query.

true to mix the ResultTables; otherwise, false. The default value is true.

Change this value only if you want to provide your own interleaving implementation.

Sample GET request

GET http:// _server_/_api/search/query?querytext='sharepoint'&amp;enableinterleaving=true

Sample POST request

Sample POST request

{
  '__metadata': {
    'type': 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchRequest'
  },

{
  '__metadata': {
    'type': 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchRequest'

Enabling anonymous Search REST queries

You can configure search to support Search REST queries from anonymous users. Site administrators can decide what query parameters to expose to anonymous users by using the queryparametertemplate.xml file. This section describes how to configure your site to enable anonymous access, and create the queryparametertemplate.xml file.

To enable anonymous Search REST queries

  1. Enable anonymous access on the web application and publishing site. For more information about how to do this, see Manage permission policies for a web application in SharePoint and Plan for user authentication methods in SharePoint on TechNet.

  2. Add a new document library named QueryPropertiesTemplate to the publishing site.

  3. Create an XML file named queryparametertemplate.xml, and copy the following XML to the file.

    <QueryPropertiesTemplate xmlns="https://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/search/KnownTypes/2008/08" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

  4. Update the SiteId, FarmId, and WebId elements with the values for your farm, website and publishing site collection.

  5. Save queryparametertemplate.xml to the QueryPropertiesTemplate document library.

  6. Add the QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl parameter to your Search REST call, specifying spfile://webroot/queryparametertemplate.xml as the value.

queryparametertemplate.xml file

The primary elements in the queryparametertemplate.xml file are:

  • QueryProperties element

    Contains a serialized QueryProperties object.

  • WhiteList element

    Contains the list of query properties that the anonymous user is allowed to set.

When an anonymous Search REST query is submitted, the query object is constructed using what's specified in the QueryProperties element. Then, all the properties that are listed in the whitelist are copied from the incoming query to the newly constructed query object.
