Search API
==========
-Search API endpoints: ``/``, ``/search``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The search supports both ``GET`` and ``POST``. However, using ``GET`` the parameters of the request remain hidden. So it is advised to use ``GET`` for querying.
-Endpoints have equivalent functionality.
+Furthermore, two enpoints ``/`` and ``/search`` are available for querying.
