# Search filter options (scoped)

POST https://api.aventure.vc/v1/entities/filters/search
Content-Type: application/json

Live search within the full eligible filter universe using current entity filters. Pass the same scopeFilter used for list/refine work; the searched filter excludes its own current values so callers can expand a facet without clearing the rest of the query.
