# Search HTTP API
The `/search` endpoint returns matches for a given prefix and context, where a
context can be jobs, allocations, evaluations, nodes, deployments, plugins,
namespaces, or volumes. When using Nomad Enterprise, the allowed contexts
include quotas. 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-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#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 identifier 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", "plugins", "volumes" or "all", where "all" means every
context will be searched.
### Sample Payload (for all contexts)
```javascript
{
"Prefix": "abc",
"Context": "all"
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
https://localhost:4646/v1/search
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"Matches": {
"allocs": null,
"deployment": null,
"evals": ["abc2fdc0-e1fd-2536-67d8-43af8ca798ac"],
"jobs": ["abcde"],
"nodes": null,
"plugins": null,
"volumes": null
},
"Truncations": {
"allocs": "false",
"deployment": "false",
"evals": "false",
"jobs": "false",
"nodes": "false",
"plugins": "false",
"volumes": "false"
}
}
```
#### Field Reference
- `Matches` - A map of contexts to matching arrays of identifiers.
- `Truncations` - Search results are capped at 20; if more matches were found for a particular context, it will be `true`.
### Sample Payload (for a specific context)
```javascript
{
"Prefix": "abc",
"Context": "evals"
}
```
