MAUDE simple search in the openFDA API #170

Closed pemocarlo closed 3 years ago

pemocarlo commented 3 years ago

Hi all, First of all, thanks for the wonderful tool provided here.

I am trying to replicate the simple search found in MAUDE with the API https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/TextSearch.cfm

Unfortunately, I cannot find clear references of what it is precisely searching The instructions only say:

Enter a single word (e.g., electromechanical), an exact phrase (e.g., "electromechanical pump") in quotes or multiple words seperated by "and".

What is the equivalence in terms of the searchable fields here? https://open.fda.gov/apis/device/event/searchable-fields/

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately, we do not have any insight into how exactly MAUDE simple search is implemented on the FDA website, so we are unable to determine an equivalence in terms of the openFDA searchable fields. You might want to consider the Advanced Search instead.
