Hint/Code snippet to start

// Example code for searching for artworks by location and medium using Node.js and Express
app.get('/search', (req, res) => {
    const {location, medium} = req.query;
    Artwork.find({location: location, medium: medium})
        .then(artworks => res.json(artworks))
        .catch(err => res.status(400).json(err))
});

This code snippet is an example of how to use the GET method to search for artworks in the database by location and medium, and then returning the results in JSON format.
