fulltext search through REST API returns deleted documents

chrisd_

I'm doing a full-text search using the REST API using /path/to/folder@search?fullText="" but I get the deleted documents as well in the reply. If I perform this same search on the Web UI, only the non-deleted documents are shown. Is there any way to apply the same filter ecm:currentLifeCycleState != 'deleted' with the fullText search using the REST API?

Hello, the @search?fullText= is here for historic reasons, and was embeded into webengine a few years ago. The prefered way is to forge your query with @search?query= like you did.

I worked around it by using the search?query= API, which allowed me to specifically exclude deleted documents, but it seems to me that writing this full query is not the right way for imho the most common case of fulltext search: search your non-deleted doucments.

Thanks for that response; is there any documentation to be found on what is preferred vs. deprecated in terms of the various web-APIs?
