Search for transformations

GET {{baseUrl}}/api/searches/results?type=43&name=Last&pattern=4

Use the stored results of the Quick Search engine to return search results and display them as a list. The Quick Search engine periodically indexes the metadata and stores the results in memory, making Quick Search very fast but with results that may not be the most recent. You obtain the authorization token needed to execute the request using POST /auth/login; you obtain the project ID using GET /projects. You pass the authorization token and the project ID in the request header. You specify the search criteria using query parameters in the request; criteria can include the root folder ID, the type of object, whether to return ancestors of the object, a search pattern such as Begins With or Exactly, and the certified status of the object being searched for. You use the offset and limit query parameters to control paging behavior. The offset parameter specifies where to start returning search results, and the limit parameter specifies how many results to return.
