Wildcard and partial matching?

Matt Lindsay

We are working with a vendor on a mobile application and trying to use web services to display constituent information.

 

Below is a list of specific constraints we've encountered. Is there a different method available or something we are missing? I opened support case about this on August 21.

 

* API doesn't support wildcard matching

* API doesn't support case-insensitive matches

* API fails if too many conditionals are in the query statement. Too many appears to be somewhere around 5

 

We're using the SOAP web services (http://open.convio.com/webservices/#main) for directory search.

Calling method is the Query method (http://open.convio.com/webservices/apidoc/reference/operations/query.html)



In the syntax no allowance is made for wildcard characters or partial matching
