    SearchParameter Class

    A search parameter that defines a named search item that can be used to search/filter on a resource.

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Search parameter for a resource
    • Definition: A search parameter that defines a named search item that can be used to search/filter on a resource.
    • Comment: In FHIR, search is not performed directly on a resource (by XML or JSON path), but on a named parameter that maps into the resource content.
    • FHIR Version: 4.3.0

    url: null | UriType

    SearchParameter.url Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Canonical identifier for this search parameter, represented as a URI (globally unique)
    • Definition: An absolute URI that is used to identify this search parameter when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this search parameter is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the search parameter is stored on different servers.
    • Comment: Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version. The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found.
    • Requirements: Allows the search parameter to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier. To allow referencing and reusing search parameter definitions under other names on operational systems (in case of name clash).
    • FHIR Type: uri
    • Cardinality: 1..1
    • isModifier: false

    version?: StringType

    SearchParameter.version Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Business version of the search parameter
    • Definition: The identifier that is used to identify this version of the search parameter when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the search parameter author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.
    • Comment: There may be different search parameter instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a reference to a particular business version of the search parameter with the format [url]|[version].
    • FHIR Type: string
    • Cardinality: 0..1
    • isModifier: false
    • isSummary: true
    name: null | StringType

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Name for this search parameter (computer friendly)
    • Definition: A natural language name identifying the search parameter. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
    • Comment: The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alphanumeric type name to ensure that it is machine-processing friendly.
    • Requirements: Support human navigation and code generation.
    • FHIR Type: string

    derivedFrom?: CanonicalType

    SearchParameter.derivedFrom Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Short: Original definition for the search parameter
    • Definition: Where this search parameter is originally defined. If a derivedFrom is provided, then the details in the search parameter must be consistent with the definition from which it is defined. i.e. the parameter should have the same meaning, and (usually) the functionality should be a proper subset of the underlying search parameter.
    • Comment: The intent of this is that a server can designate that it provides support for a search parameter defined in the specification itself (e.g. value-quantity, but detail how it is supported by the server.

    • FHIR Type: code
    • Cardinality: 1..1

    SearchParameter.date Element

    FHIR Specification

    • Comment: Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the search parameter. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.
