AND does not work

[der-brecher]

Description du problème

According to FHIR documentation a conjunction of values on a certain field can be expressed as /=&=. But Annuaire Santé seems to translates it into an OR.

Fichier•s concerné•s

I noticed the issue on PractitionerRole::name - I did not check other fields.

Sample:
GET https://gateway.api.esante.gouv.fr/fhir/PractitionerRole?name%3Aexact=Am%C3%A9lie&name%3Aexact=AGIER&_include=PractitionerRole%3Apractitioner
This requests tries to implement a fuzzy search on the whole name by requesting the PractitionerRoles with matching names containing the exact words "Amélie" and "Agier".

The results are:

• Amélie GIANNOTTA-MAGNIER
• Amélie ALBRECHT
• Amélie BASEYA
• Amélie BASEYA
• Amélie POURCHET
• Amélie DEMONT
• ...

Placing the query as an explicit OR gives the very same results:
GET https://gateway.api.esante.gouv.fr/fhir/PractitionerRole?name%3Aexact=Am%C3%A9lie%2CAGIER&_include=PractitionerRole%3Apractitioner

Solution proposée

Please fix.

Thank you for reporting this.
I've confirmed this is a bug in our API and have created a task in the project task tracker for fixing it.
In the meantime, you may be able to work around this bug with a search that includes a family name and a given name, for example :

GET [base]//fhir/v1/PractitionerRole?name:exact=Am%C3%A9lie&family:exact=AGIE
