A plugin for Microsoft Dynamics CRM to facilitate address searches must also be available in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM plugin. A REST API that contains all the search methods that are available in an auto completion Plugin; must be available in a standalone API; the purpose of which is to leverage the functionality of the plugin without the need of a user interface.
