# Simple Search

GET https://data.api.aviato.co/person/simple/search

Search for people using simple query parameters. The resulting DSL has
no application clause-count cap. Filter nesting is capped at 100 groups;
excessive nesting returns 400. Backend query limits, request-size limits,
and runtime/resource limits can still constrain searches.
Shares the customer's 15 concurrent-search budget with person POST search
and company search across all API keys. Excess concurrency returns 429
with Retry-After; admission failures return 503.
