# Search Patient Data

> Search through a Patient's data and return matching resources

Searches through a Patient's consolidated data and returns resources that match the query. This
endpoint also includes CCDA documents.

The response contains a URL to a FHIR `searchset` bundle which contains the results of the search.

<Warning>
  This feature is deprecated. If you need access to it,
  reach out to `support@metriport.com`.
</Warning>

<Info>
  The URL will only be valid for 60 seconds before you need
  to request a new one.
</Info>

### How to use it

* the search is case-insensitive
* you can include multiple terms/words, separated by spaces
* it will include keywords that are very similar to the search criteria, accounting for typos
* it will return related resources

Example:

* search term: "pain medication"
* will include all resources with the words "pain" and "medication"
