Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The client should provide a parameter to specify locale to the REST API POST manifestSearch endpoint.
The client should provide a parameter to specify preferred architecture to the REST API POST manifestSearch endpoint.

If a REST source supports filtering results on these parameters the results from the source may provide a smaller data-set limited to results matching these parameters.
