Should provide cut and paste example for most users. Advanced users should be able to correct URLs to something appropriate.

The /search endpoint is used to search for Nomad objects

# Search HTTP API
The `/search` endpoint returns matches for a given prefix and context, where a
context can be jobs, allocations, evaluations, nodes, or deployments. When using
Nomad Enterprise, the allowed contexts include quotas and namespaces.
Additionally, a prefix can be searched for within every context.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `POST` | `/v1/search | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/index.html#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `NO` | `node:read, namespace:read-jobs` |
When ACLs are enabled, requests must have a token valid for `node:read` or
`namespace:read-jobs` roles. If the token is only valid for `node:read`, then
job related results will not be returned. If the token is only valid for
`namespace:read-jobs`, then node results will not be returned.
### Parameters
- `Prefix` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the identifer against which
matches will be found. For example, if the given prefix were "a", potential
matches might be "abcd", or "aabb".
- `Context` `(string: <required>)` - Defines the scope in which a search for a
prefix operates. Contexts can be: "jobs", "evals", "allocs", "nodes",
"deployment" or "all", where "all" means every context will be searched.
