Description

I love having the option to search for transactions using all the available fields. The only thing I'm missing is the option to join 2 queries using the OR operator 😇

I'm working on a third party client called "Firefly-Pico" and would like to implement a simple search field that takes the user input and looks for it in multiple places likes categories, tags, etc.

Solution

The proposed query syntax could look something like this: query=tag_is:1|account_is:2.

What are alternatives?

• I could perform multiple requests to query=tag_is:1 and account_is:2 and merge the results but that throws the pagination out the window.

• Another solution would be to add an Elasticsearch instance, feed it all the transactions, perform the queries against it and then return to the Firefly API with something like query=id:1106,1105,..... but that feels a little overkill and throws away all the awesome work you did with all the filtering options.
