------------------------------------------
> API searches for names should not be fuzzy / wildcards

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-1179
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1179
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.1.0
> Reporter: Wido den Hollander
> Assignee: Min Chen
> Fix For: 4.2.0
>
>
> During some API work I found that when you query for a 'name' with
> ListDomains, ListAccounts and/or ListVolumes this search is fuzzy (with
> a wildcard).
> For example when listing domains:
> if (domainName != null) {
> sc.setParameters("name", "%" + domainName + "%");
> }
> Or when listing volumes:
> if (name != null) {
> sc.setParameters("name", "%" + name + "%");
> }
> This search is always a wildcard.
> So if you want to know if domain 'customerX' exists you query for that,
> but your results can also contain 'customerXY' and 'customerXX'.
> command=listDomains&name=customerX
> I'm taking the listing of domains again and you can also use the
> 'keyword' parameter like:
> command=listDomains&name=customerX&keyword=customerX
> On the mailinglist it seems that we agree that these queries should not be
> fuzzy but should be exact matches.
