I'm new to spring boot and trying to make a Rest API with some resources, I have the following:

Get all existing rules:

 @GetMapping("/rules")
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
    @ApiOperation(value = "Get all the existing rules", response = RuleViewModel.class) //Swagger documentation
    public  ResponseEntity<Page<RuleViewModel>> get(@PageableDefault(page = 0, size = 25) Pageable pageable) {
        Page<Rule> rulesEntity = ruleService.findByDeletedIsSend(false, pageable);
        Page<RuleViewModel> ruleViewModels =  rulesEntity.map(mapper::ruleViewModelMapper);
        return new ResponseEntity<>(ruleViewModels, HttpStatus.OK);
    }

Filter all the existing rules with different parameters

@GetMapping(value = "/rules")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
@ApiOperation(value = "Get a specific rule by filter", response = RuleViewModel.class)
public ResponseEntity<Page<RuleViewModel>> getByFilter(
        @RequestParam(name = "id", required = false) Optional<String> ruleId,
        @RequestParam(name = "description", required = false) Optional<String> description,
        @RequestParam(name = "types", required = false) Optional<List<Boolean>> types,
        @RequestParam(name = "layers", required = false) Optional<List<Layer>> layers,
        @RequestParam(name = "groups", required = false) Optional<List<Category>> groups,
        Pageable pageable
) {
    Page<Rule> rulesEntities = ruleService
            .filterRule(
                    types.orElse(Arrays.asList(true, false)),
                    layers.orElse(layerService.findByIsActive(true)),
                    groups.orElse(categoryService.findByIsActive(true)),
                    description.orElse(""),
                    ruleId.orElse(""),
                    false,
                    pageable
            );
    Page<RuleViewModel> ruleViewModels = rulesEntities.map(mapper::ruleViewModelMapper);
    return ruleViewModels.getSize() > 0 ? new ResponseEntity<>(ruleViewModels, HttpStatus.OK) : new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}

As you can see the path is the same ("/rules") but in the case of the filters, it adds all the optional parameters.

The problem I have is that when I want to use filter params as:

http://localhost:5656/v1/rules?id=7be4336d-6495-5b71-9bc2-a97c9da5ede2

It always goes to get all rules endpoint.

The workaround I made was to add the "search" path to URI like this:

http://localhost:5656/v1/rules/search?id=7be4336d-6495-5b71-9bc2-a97c9da5ede2

So the requests get correctly mapped, but I think it violates the Rest best practices.

Could you point me in the right way to achieve this?. Thanks in advance.
