Changes to text searches

  • 'is not' has been added shifting values down the list. 0=contains, 1=does not contain, 2=starts with, 3=ends with 4=is, 5=is not, 6=sounds like, 7=does not sound like
  • rule_1['name'] is depreciated. Instead of rule_1['name'] use rule_1['title'] (I have put a temp workaround into the search rules to alleviate this change for any existing apps)

Perform an advanced search given passed rules. This works in a similar way to the web/UI search pages. You can pass multiple rules as well as joins to create in depth search results

Rules must be sent in groups of 3 using an int (starting from 1) to designate which rules are combined. Use operator ('and', 'or') to choose whether to join or separate each rule when searching.

Refer to the Advanced Search page for details about creating searches.

@param array $input

INPUTS

  • ampache_url = (string)

  • rules = (array) = [[rule_1, rule_1_operator, rule_1_input], [rule_2, rule_2_operator, rule_2_input], [etc]]
  • type = (string) song, album, artist, playlist, label, user, video
  • random = (integer) 0, 1 (random order of results; default to 0)
  • offset = (integer)
  • limit' = (integer)
