get https://example.com/authoring/v1/contextualsearch

Use the /authoring/v1/contextualsearch endpoint to retrieve contextual search results from the authoring collection based on the passed filters.
See the Authoring Search documents on the Content API for details of the main search service parameters.

Current filters

accept-language Searches for content with matching languages. If this filter is specified the accept-language request header must be specified with the ordered list of languages to search with. The search iterates through all of the languages in order until a language returns one or more matching content items or the service has completed the search for all the languages without finding any results. If the search returns content items the response header content-language is set to the language that returned those content items, otherwise this header is not returned in the response.
proximity Searches for content located within a certain radius of a specified location. proximity is used in combination with distance which is the bounding radius around the location. You can specify the location with the position parameter. If the parameter is not provided the location is read from the X-Akamai-Edgescape header. If the distance parameter is not provided distance is defaulted to 5.
similar Searches for content or assets that are similar to a specified item. similar uses the tags added by AI, a user, or included in the asset, such as image metadata tags to search. The content and assets with matching tags to the specified item are returned. Based on the number of tags that match a 'score' is calculated for each content and asset, the bigger the number of matching tags the higher the score. The results are returned as an ordered array response that starts with items with the highest score and lists them in a descending order. Note: Since the specified item in the query would be a perfect match, it is not returned as a result.
