Bug #1245

API bug with search a dot in front of domain when pulling a host list returns the full hostlist of all hosts rather than matching the domain string
Description
The following query works and returns list of hosts in domain.com:
https://foreman.domain.com/hosts?search=domain.com"
but the slightly modified query below return a list of all hosts in the system (just a leading dot):
https://foreman.domain.com/hosts?search=.domain.com"

shouldnt it be search="domain = domain.com"?
there was a fix for leading dot handling here https://github.com/wvanbergen/scoped_search/commit/cef7f39fc49666de80c0a64f674f02ff2e9e36c4, not sure with which version are you using

not sure that I follow, but i can you confirm the search syntax? (e.g. your original query might be wrong).

A little background: Since the search API isn't super well documented, while working on Foremancli, I just used trial and error and found that host/search?domain.com does return a list of hosts in domain.com. Don't know if this is a bug, but from a foremancli point of view being able to type the following is a win:
foremancli --host domain.com
How does the API handle non-paramaterized query strings that don't have an equals sign?
Thanks,
Brian

Some more further notes: From my observation, at least for hosts, it appears to be a simple pattern match (with some caveats like the leading dot issue) against FQDN. Not sure what it is supposed to be doing. -Brian

it does a full text search on all fields which are enabled for full text search.... :(
