Query parameters with GET works just fine for context searches too. But, this is not a recommendation.

Usually post is used to create something, yet according to there api page, its just like get with the use of contextSearch. Are they using post to differentiate a regular search from a context search? Seems like a query parameter would work fine in the GET version.
