Can I search using the API for contacts based on custom fields

[John_Flynn]

Seems like I may have received my answer from this other question here:

Looking up values in custom contact field with REST V2 API

I’ve seen this question answered for V1 and in xmlRpc, but I’m needing to figure this out using the new REST V2. I can actually update my custom fields as I know their ids, but I’m not rather new to working with REST and I’m not sure what I should be doing to get a contact by a value in the custom field. Thanks!

tl;dr Due to system constraints, filtering contact list by a custom field isn’t possible with the ReST API calls.
