The REST Query pipeline stage is available in Fusion versions 3.0 and later.
In Fusion version 3.0 and earlier, this pipeline stage was called the Query RPC Stage. RPC is the acronym for Remote Procedure Calls.
The notation to send text as payload in Request entity (as string) field is <request.q>.

Query pipeline stage condition examples

Stages can be triggered conditionally when a script in the Condition field evaluates to true. Some examples are shown below. Run this stage only for mobile clients:
params.deviceType === "mobile"
Run this stage when debugging is enabled:
params.debug === "true"
Run this stage when the query includes a specific term:
params.q && params.q.includes("sale")
Run this stage when multiple conditions are met:
request.hasParam("fusion-user-name") && request.getFirstParam("fusion-user-name").equals("SuperUser");
!request.hasParam("isFusionPluginQuery")
The first condition checks that the request parameter “fusion-user-name” is present and has the value “SuperUser”. The second condition checks that the request parameter “isFusionPluginQuery” is not present.

Configuration

When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as \t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.
