# Search audience members

GET https://api.smallest.ai/atoms/v1/audience/{id}/members/search

Search for members within a specific audience using flexible search parameters. Users can only search members of audiences they created.

**Search Types:**
- **General Search** (`query`): Searches across all fields in the audience member data
- **Field-Specific Search**: Use any field name as a parameter (e.g., `firstName=john`, `phoneNumber=123456`, `email=test@example.com`)

**Examples:**
- `?query=john` - General search across all fields
- `?firstName=john` - Search specifically in firstName field
- `?phoneNumber=555-1234` - Search specifically in phoneNumber field
- `?firstName=john&lastName=doe` - Search for members matching both criteria

**Note:** When using phoneNumber field, do not use quotes around the phone number. You can use either a general search OR field-specific searches, but not both simultaneously.
