Ok web api routing fun.
my web api route config is below. the geocoding and info routes are performing great. And I'm confused why the search one is not following suite.
/*
==Geocoding Endpoints==
*/
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "v1_GeocodeApi",
routeTemplate: "api/v{version}/{controller}/{street}/{zone}",
defaults: new
{
action = "get",
controller = "Geocode",
version = "1"
});
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "v1_GeocodeMultipleApi",
routeTemplate: "api/v{version}/{controller}/multiple",
defaults: new
{
action = "multiple",
controller = "Geocode",
version = "1"
});
/*
==Search Endpoints==
*/
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "v1_SearchApi",
routeTemplate: "api/v{version}/{controller}/{featureClass}/{returnValues}",
defaults: new
{
action = "Get",
controller = "Search",
version = "1"
});
/*
==Info Endpoints==
*/
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "v1_InfoApi",
routeTemplate: "api/v{version}/{controller}/FeatureClassNames",
defaults: new
{
action = "FeatureClassNames",
controller = "Info",
version = "1"
});
}
so i want to have a url like http://webapi/api/v1/search/fc/rv. This url produces the below stack trace and resulting 404. I thought the convention was that if you had a controller with a get method it would be used by default. That seems to be what happens with the first geocoding route.

Now if I were to make another route more similar to the second geocoding route with the /multiple making the route template api/v{version}/{controller}/**for**/{featureClass}/{returnValues} the routing works and all is happy.
The controller signature is
public class SearchController : ApiController
{
[HttpGet]
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Get(string featureClass, string returnValues, [FromUri] SearchOptions options)
{
// ...
}
}
My hunch is that the async Task part is throwing it off somehow with the default get binding but that doesn't make sense since it works with the modified route.
