/api/asset/search

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

This is part of the core API.

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.
