Change Description

As of a future version, the full text search functionality will only include the following properties:

  • _id
  • name
  • type
  • owner
  • external id

A text search functionality corresponds to a text parameter of GET {url}/inventory/managedObjects.

Example: When executing the following query: GET {url}/inventory/managedObjects?text=c8y_MajorDevice only the properties id, name, type, owner and external id will be examined.

This change improves the user experience of the text search functionality by returning more relevant managed objects. At the same time it improves the Inventory API performance.

This change will be implemented after a 3-month period at the earliest.
