Search for Concept by EntityDescription - Not fully supported
The old DataServices performed a strict exact match. This query will return only one result. It also specifies to only search the EntityDescription.

CTS2 does a tokenized exact match. A concept where any one token is an exact match will be included in the result set. As a result, this returns multiple concepts. In addition, CTS2 does not support specifying what value to search, so looks at all presentation properties, not just the EntityDescription.

CTS2 by default searches all presentation properties, so this use case is coincidentally supported. However CTS2 does not allow the user to specifically choose what is searched.

caCORE to LexEVS XML Mapping
The results from CTS2 are formatted in the LexEVS model which varies somewhat from the caCORE model. This mapping spreadsheet was created to allow users to update their parsers to use the new format.
