On the version 1.0.9, only following parameters are available. Others are simply ignored because they are not implemented.

All parameters are compatible to parameters for select command of the Groonga. See the linked document for more details.

Responses

This returns an array including search results as the response’s body.

[
  [
    <Groonga's status code>,
    <Start time>,
    <Elapsed time>
  ],
  <List of columns>
]

The structure of the returned array is compatible to the returned value of the Groonga’s select command. See the linked document for more details.

This command always returns a response with 200 as its statusCode, because this is a Groonga compatible command and errors of this command must be handled in the way same to Groonga’s one.

Response body’s details:

  • 0 (Droonga::GroongaHandler::Status::SUCCESS) : Successfully processed.
