# About SCIM searches

Search requests are used to return System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) resources. You can constrain search requests using filters.

A request that potentially causes the return of multiple SCIM resources is considered a search request. Perform such requests in one of the following manners:

* Make a `GET` request to `/scim/v2/<resourceType>`.

* Make a `POST` request to `/scim/v2/<resourceType>/.search`.

To constrain the search results, clients should supply a search filter through the `filter` parameter. For example, a `GET` request to `/scim/v2/Users?filter=st+eq+"TX"` returns all SCIM resources of the `Users` resource type in which the `st` attribute possesses a value of `"TX"`. Additionally, the `Add Filter` policy can add a filter automatically to search requests.
