    • /rest/api/uom/{R}/search/{QUERY} ----> get the feed of instances of {R} matching the query

    for the QUERY value I have tried

    • (PartitionName=abc) and various other versions of this including double and single quotes, but get
      • 500 Internal Server Error : <ReasonCode kb="ROR" kxe="false">Unknown internal error.</ReasonCode>

    Off the top of my head I'd say you probably need to url encode  the equal sign = as %3D so the web server doesn't mangle it.

    The format for search query value is as follows (for example:  PartitionName==ABC)

      /rest/api/uom/{R}/search/(PartitionName=='ABC')

     and it is always better to pass value with single quote in some of the cases value can have space as below 

      /rest/api/uom/{R}/search/(PartitionState=='not activated')

    and instead of search API you can use quick API because quick API's are much faster.
