## New Secondary Act Metadata Search

We've introduced a new resolver to retrieve or search for secondary acts based on either a specific act number or a keyword search.

### Search Behaviors (Mutually Exclusive)

1. **Act Number Search**: When `actNumber` is provided, fetches the acts matching the entity and identifier structure. Results are ordered deterministically by importance.
2. **Keyword Search**: When `keywords` is provided (cannot be combined with `actNumber`), performs an unstructured text search across the entity's acts metadata. This mode provides more degrees of freedom: results are not ranked by relevance or consolidated. To be used to search minor acts which do not have a number (i.e., allegati, FAQ).

### New API Function

* **`getActByMetadata`**: Retrieves or searches for secondary acts based on either a specific act number or a keyword search.

```graphql
getActByMetadata("Enum of the entity" entity: Entity!, "(alpha)-numeric number of the act" actNumber: String, "A space-separated list or string of search terms. (Ignored if `actNumber` is provided)" keywords: String, "Date of validity" dateInForce: String): [Act]
```

{% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-06-22" %}

## New Entity Available

* **Consob bulletins and deliberations** are now available to the endpoint with the entity **Consob**.
  {% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-06-08" %}

## New Search for Secondary Regulation - EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT

We've introduced new functions to search and retrieve secondary acts from issuing authorities. Initial support includes **Bank of Italy (Bankitalia)** and **IVASS**.

  ```
* **`getAct`**: Retrieve the full text and metadata of a specific act.

  ```graphql
  getAct(idAct: String!): [Act]
  ```

### New Schema Types
