Summary

Ref T12337. Ref T5873. This provides a generic "edge.search" method which feels like other "verison 3" *.search methods.

The major issues here are:

  1. Edges use constants internally, which aren't great for an API.
  2. A lot of edges are internal and probably not useful to query.
  3. Edges don't have a real "id", so paginating them properly is challenging.

I've solved these things like this:

  • Edges must opt-in to being available via Conduit by providing a human-readable key (like "mention" instead of "52"). This solvs (1) and (2).
  • I faked a mostly-reasonable behavior for paginating.
Test Plan

Ran various valid and invalid searches. Paginated a large search. Reviewed UI.

which feels like

Well, somewhat like. I could put the sourcePHIDs and such in a constraints parameter, but that felt more confusing than helpful even though it would make them feel a little more similar.
