Summary

Search Discourse topics using a query string and return matching topics, optionally simplified.

Inputs

  • query (required) — Search query value passed to Discourse as q.
  • page — Page number to fetch (default: 1, minimum: 1).
  • simplify — Whether to return a simplified version of the response instead of the raw data (default: true).

Output shape

a list of topic items (or a simplified topic object if Simplify is true)

The operation returns items corresponding to the search results. The structure of each item depends on the 'Simplify' setting: if true, items are simplified topic objects; if false, the raw API response is returned.

Examples

Example 1: Find all topics tagged with 'announcement'

Query: 'tags:announcement', Page: 1, Simplify: true

Example 2: Retrieve raw search results for a specific search term

Query: 'bug report', Page: 1, Simplify: false
