I'm using the Mendeley API and when I search documents (using the /search/documents) I can specify a query parameter that search string in any fileds.
Now it seems that the Mendeley applies a strict match on the string. For example if I have a document having the string "research" in the title, when I search using the query="resea" they return nothing.
Is it possible to search using a sort of LIKE? thanks
Their documentation is not much detailed, and sometimes appears even conflicting (I was not able to implement the advanced search operators indicated here, for example)... but I have tried some searches using '
*' likequery="resea*"in your case, and it returns a bigger amount of data than the original world, so, I believe it works...
