This specification updates the HTTP SEARCH method originally defined in [RFC5323]. Many existing HTTP-based applications use the HTTP GET and POST methods in various ways to implement the functionality provided by SEARCH. Using a GET request with some combination of query parameters included within the request URI (as illustrated in the example below) is arguably the most common mechanism for implementing search in web applications. With this approach, implementations are required to parse the request URI into distinct path (everything before the ‘?’) and query elements (everything after the ‘?’). The path identifies the resource processing the query (in this case ‘http://example.org/feed') while the query identifies the specific parameters of the search operation.
