Advanced search via JSONRPC?

[cpd73]

Is it possible to perform an advanced search, as per the default web-UI, using JSONRPC? I can't find any mention of it in the documentation. I'd like to add this to Material, so that I can then save searches as 'Virtual Libraries'

Unfortunately no. This is currently very tightly coupled to the
templating engine. I thought about re-writing the advanced search
before. But even providing a good UI wouldn't be easy. And even harder
on something like the devices themselves (and that's what the CLI
commands are used for mostly).

Well, at least it wasn't me just missing something. I guess if I want to implement somthing like this, I'd need to add it to the perl plugin and then call that via JOSNRPC? Will think about this later.

That would be a major task... and I guarantee you to steal your code if
you manage to do it :-D.
