We are using REST API’s in our application in order to get the desired result from RAM. In order to search for an asset in RAM, the result it is giving is ambiguous, here are some scenarios:

There is an Asset with Asset name “vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1” in
Community “Test_Community” with
Asset type as “Test_AssetType” and
State as “submitted”

After applying all these three filters (Community  as “Test_Community”, Asset type as “Test_AssetType” & State as “Submitted”)for the search, in the result list this Asset (vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1) is displayed among all other Assets fulfilling same filter criteria. But now when I search with giving the search string as:

·         Case 1

1.       Search String: “v”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: “No results were found for your search.”

2.       Search String: “vvv”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvvv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: “No results were found for your search.”

3.       Search String: “vvvvvvvv”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvvvvvvvv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: “No results were found for your search.”

4.       Search String: “vvvvvvvvv”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvvvvvvvvv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: its showing the desired Asset (vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1) in the resultant list.

5.       Search String: “vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: its showing the desired Asset (vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1) in the resultant list.

6.       Search String: “vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: its showing the desired Asset (vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1) in the resultant list.

7.       Search String: “vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: its showing the desired Asset (vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1) in the resultant list.

·         Case 2 : Under same community, Asset type & State, there are some other Assets (VAV1, vav4 & vav6). So after applying all the above filters and again trying to search for the asset via search string, giving search result like this:

1.       Search String: “v”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cv%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: “No results were found for your search.”

2.       Search String: “vav”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvav%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: It is showing the Asset list (VAV1, vav4 & vav6) in the resultant list.

3.       Search String: “vav4”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvav4%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: It is showing the Asset list (VAV1, vav4 & vav6) in the resultant list.

4.       Search String: “vav6”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2Cvav6%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: It is showing the Asset list (VAV1, vav4 & vav6) in the resultant list.

5.       Search String: “VAV1”
Search Query: ramSearch:(1txt%2CVAV1%24fGroup%2C test_community %24ftype%2C test_assettype %24fState%2Csubmitted)
Result: It is showing the Asset list (VAV1, vav4 & vav6) in the resultant list.

And so on…
