Hey,

I am trying to search people names with Swagger: https://esi.tech.ccp.is/dev/#!/Search/get_search.

It works as expected except for one thing; If I request a search query with a space, it returns the names that have both parts of the search query in it. I ll clarify with an example:

Search term: "Vex M". This will return Vex Munda, but also others like "Vexus Malius" and "Vexing Mordina". So it treats the search text before and after the space seperately.

What I want is that searching "Vex M" would result in names like Vex Munda, Vex Mayaki, etc.

So I want it to search for "Vex M" and not or "Vex" and "M".

Anyone know how to do this?

thx for your replies.

PS: Using strict=true also won't work, because I don't want to search the entire name.

Use a combination of strict and wildcards to do the search.

https://esi.tech.ccp.is/v2/search/?categories=character&search=Vex M*&strict=true

Example output (after running results to /names/ endpoint):
