I’m using the Open EdX courses API (/courses/v1/courses/) to list courses. This works fine. I noticed that this endpoint supports a “search_term” query parameter that is not very well documented. Can I search for courses that contains a specific search term in a specific field (like short_description) perhaps by specifying an Elasticsearch query string? Or does this just search various text fields for the search term?
Hey @Brian_Levine if you have courseware search enabled, you should be able to pass in an elasticsearch query. The code that does it is here.
To help improve the docs, can you tell me which docs were you looking at exactly? Docstrings in the codebase, some docs site, something else?
