PermID search API cannot find some available organizations

Options

I find that PermID search API cannot find some organizations that can be found by the search UI on PermID.org website. Here are 2 examples. Do you know the reason?

  1. Kidsland International Holdings Ltd, https://permid.org/1-5056412074. The API returns empty result.
  2. Wah Sun Handbags International Holdings Ltd, https://permid.org/1-5056414599. The API returns as follow but the correct entity is not in the return result.


@{"result":{"organizations":{"entityType":"organizations","total":10,"start":1,"num":5,"entities":[{"@id":"https:\/\/permid.org\/1-5001102230","organizationName":"Sun Wah Group","orgSubtype":"Unknown","hasURL":"http:\/\/www.sunwahgroup.com\/"},{"@id":"https:\/\/permid.org\/1-5040194820","organizationName":"Wah Sun Investments Ltd","orgSubtype":"Unknown"},{"@id":"https:\/\/permid.org\/1-5065315137","organizationName":"H SUN HOLDING ApS","orgSubtype":"Unknown"},{"@id":"https:\/\/permid.org\/1-5050308375","organizationName":"Sun Wah Capital Ltd","orgSubtype":"Unknown"},{"@id":"https:\/\/permid.org\/1-5050272689","organizationName":"Sun Wah Education Laboratories Inc","orgSubtype":"Unknown"}]}}}

    I got a response from the Open PermID team.

    Few organization entities are configured with the name parameter. In this case, "Kidsland" is not configured with the name parameter. Therefore, you are unable to search it with the name parameter.

    To search organizations by name, you can use search without the name parameter.
