The documentation for http://api.geni.com/api-reference/profile/search.html tells about only one option: "names", but just looking at the example and the "next_page" result on for example https://www.geni.com/api/profile/search?names=smith shows that more options is supported.

next_page: "https://www.geni.com/api/profile/search?field_group=list&focus=...;
page: 1

Could we get a complete list of search options?

What I am interested in is options like deceased, DOD and so on to avoid downloading to much results.

Bjorn, The link you posted gets me to something unreadable
I would also like to see other things - we have fields there, so what is the problem to do queries by each field?

Try using Google Chrome which have a built-in JSON viewer... What you see is the data you get from the API.

Chrome users will be especially pleased with the JSONView extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefha...

Bjørn the "next_page" parameter is our standard pagination for any API query that returns more results than the maximum number that we display, but I see that it's not currently documented at all. I'll make sure it gets added. What you're asking for is the equivalent of what we call an Advanced Search on the web site, and we've done some work on it but it's not yet officially supported. Once we do release the advanced search API, it will only be available when the user who has authenticated, is a Pro.
