/api/asset/search

This function is used to search for an asset based on a query string.

This search follows the same rules as searching in the ARDI web interface, meaning that the system will explore all asset properties - including part numbers, ERNs, names, descriptions etc. - when searching.

If using the API to create a bridge between ARDI and another 3rd party system, we suggest creating a property in ARDI to store the 3rd party systems unique ID for the asset. This allows extremely precise lookups in the future.
