---+ Basic Search

The basic search allows you to query using typename of an entity, associated classification/tag
and has support for filtering on the entity attribute(s) as well as the classification/tag attributes.

The entire query structure can be represented using the following JSON structure (called !SearchParameters)

<verbatim>
{
  "typeName":               "hive_column",
  "excludeDeletedEntities": true,
  "classification":         "PII",
  "query":                  "",
  "offset":                 0,
  "limit":                  25,
  "entityFilters":          {  },
  "tagFilters":             { },
  "attributes":             [ "table", "qualifiedName"]
}
</verbatim>

__Field description__

<verbatim>
   typeName:               the type of entity to look for
   excludeDeletedEntities: should the search exclude deleted entities? (default: true)
   classification:         only include entities with given classification
   query:                  any free text occurrence that the entity should have (generic/wildcard queries might be slow)
   offset:                 starting offset of the result set (useful for pagination)
   limit:                  max number of results to fetch
   entityFilters:          entity attribute filter(s)
   tagFilters:             classification attribute filter(s)
   attributes:             attributes to include in the search result

   Attribute based filtering can be done on multiple attributes with AND/OR conditions.

__Examples of filtering (for hive_table attributes)__
   * Single attribute
   <verbatim>
   {
     "typeName":               "hive_table",
     "excludeDeletedEntities": true,
     "offset":                 0,
     "limit":                  25,
     "entityFilters": {
        "attributeName":  "name",
        "operator":       "contains",
        "attributeValue": "customers"
     },
     "attributes": [ "db", "qualifiedName" ]
   }
   </verbatim>

   * Multi-attribute with OR
   <verbatim>
   {
     "typeName":               "hive_table",
     "excludeDeletedEntities": true,
     "offset":                 0,
     "limit":                  25,
     "entityFilters": {
        "condition": "OR",
        "criterion": [
           {
              "attributeName":  "name",
              "operator":       "contains",
              "attributeValue": "customers"
           },
           {
              "attributeName":  "name",
              "operator":       "contains",
              "attributeValue": "provider"
           }
        ]
     },
     "attributes": [ "db", "qualifiedName" ]
   }
   </verbatim>

   * Multi-attribute with AND
   <verbatim>
   {
     "typeName":               "hive_table",
     "excludeDeletedEntities": true,
     "offset":                 0,
     "limit":                  25,
     "entityFilters": {
        "condition": "AND",
        "criterion": [
           {
              "attributeName":  "name",
              "operator":       "contains",
              "attributeValue": "customers"
           },
           {
              "attributeName":  "owner",
              "operator":       "eq",
              "attributeValue": "hive"
           }
        ]
     },
     "attributes": [ "db", "qualifiedName" ]
  }
