When I do basic search using the REST API using http://localhost:8003/v1/search?q=harry&format=json, I get a result from MarkLogic with all documents containing harry.
{
"snippet-format": "snippet",
"total": 2,

"page-length": 10,
"results": [
{
"index": 1,

}
]
},
{

"match-text": [

},

]
}
]
}
],
"qtext": "harry",
"metrics": {
"query-resolution-time": "PT0.0038395S",
"snippet-resolution-time": "PT0.001753S",
"total-time": "PT0.0068583S"
}
}
But I want the response to not just contain the information of document but to return the document as well. So that I don't have to do separate calls to get the documents.
You can do this by setting the Accept header to multipart/mixed. If you want the search response as well as the matching documents, set the view=results request parameter.
