Can we do $reindex operation, for adding custom parameter's in open source Azure FHIR server ?

Question

Hi

I am using the following Azure FHIR server:
https://github.com/microsoft/fhir-server

While $reindex operation works with Azure Health Data Service - FHIR service, does the same $reindex operation works with open source Azure FHIR server (https://github.com/microsoft/fhir-server)

Kindly provide an answer.

If not then how to create custom parameter and perform custom search operation.

P, Pioline (Cognizant) Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. Yes $reindex operation is supported in open source FHIR and check out a sample PR: Add support for Reindex request against a single resource in this regard (Check out related source code path).

Note: Currently, not all search parameters are supported (unsupported-search-parameters.json list), and you may have to refer this discussion for a workaround if incase it is not supported.
