Search for tags(now named TOPICS) via rest api
-----------------------------------------
GitLab Enterprise Edition 11.9.9-ee
I have seen the issues/merge request regarding the search for tags in repositories.
-----------------------------------------
I cannot find any documentation for that feature and testing it via
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <MY_TOKEN>" "http://<MY_URL>/api/v4/search?scope=projects&search=<MY_TAG>"
[]% results in an empty list ...
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that tags for repositories exist, but i am unable to filter/search projects by those tags ... isn't that the only useful thing to have in the first place or am I using this wrong?
Our tool has to parse and http-GET over 300 repositories before crawling each of those and searching for the desired tag instead of the rest api actually doing a simple select query before flushing data into my direction. Obviously this is not really helpful and (SLOW), is there a solution for this?
Another problem I have is that the search by name feature does not even return a repository with that name but random stuff which has nothing to do with the search string I provided.
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <MY_TOKEN>" "http://<MY_URL>/api/v4/search?scope=projects&search=deployment_suit"
