Title:
  Request for "list/search of available options" in nova api

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  One could search with filters in URL in the below mentioned example:

  http://dev.splunk.com/view/rest-tutorial-overview/SP-CAAADP8

  search Filters the returned objects by matching any eligible field
  value against the search expression. For example: search=foo would
  match any object that has the value 'foo' as a substring of at least
  one of the eligible fields. The search can also be restricted to a
  single field as follows: search=field_name%3Dfield_value (which when
  URL decoded is: field_name=field_value).

  In the same way, I need to be able to frame a query to nova api, to
  return me available options available from nova api such as server,
  server/detail,images etc. This could considerably ease QA ability to
  do manual testing using curl, across api upgrades and also
  sufficiently advanced users, need not have to necessarily read API
  docs all the time for minor doubts and clarifications.
