Using query string parameters to disambiguate a UriTemplate match

Question

I am using WCF 4.0 to create a REST-ful web service. What I would like to do is have different service methods called based on query string parameters in the UriTemplate<

Alternatively, if you want to keep the query string format, adding a static query string parameter to the beginning of the UriTemplate would work. For example:

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "people?searchBy=driversLicense&driversLicense={driversLicense}")]
string GetPersonByLicense(string driversLicense);

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "people?searchBy=ssn&ssn={ssn}")]
string GetPersonBySSN(string ssn);
