+* Contains wildcard expressions and there are no models that match.
+* Contains the `_all` string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
+* Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.
+
+The default value is `true`, which returns an empty array when there are no
+matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If this
+parameter is `false`, the request returns a `404` status code when there are no
+matches or only partial matches.
