Expansion based on SearchParamType v5.0.0 (CodeSystem)

Code	System	Display	Definition
number	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Number	Search parameter SHALL be a number (a whole number, or a decimal).
date	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Date/DateTime	Search parameter is on a date/time. The date format is the standard XML format, though other formats may be supported.
string	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	String	Search parameter is a simple string, like a name part. Search is case-insensitive and accent-insensitive. May match just the start of a string. String parameters may contain spaces.
token	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Token	Search parameter on a coded element or identifier. May be used to search through the text, display, code and code/codesystem (for codes) and label, system and key (for identifier). Its value is either a string or a pair of namespace and value, separated by a "\|", depending on the modifier used.
reference	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Reference	A reference to another resource (Reference or canonical).
composite	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Composite	A composite search parameter that combines a search on two values together.
quantity	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Quantity	A search parameter that searches on a quantity.
uri	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	URI	A search parameter that searches on a URI (RFC 3986).
special	http://hl7.org/fhir/search-param-type	Special	Special logic applies to this parameter per the description of the search parameter.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application

Definition

An explanation of the meaning of the concept
