angularjs - How to pass data from $http.get to request body in angular -

i using express , angular app.

suppose have following factory:

angular.module('liveapp.factory',[]) .factory('datafactory', ['$http', datafactory])   function datafactory($http){   var datafactory = {};    datafactory.checkdb = function(){      return $http({         method: 'get',         url: '/artistsearch',         data: "need data go request body"     })   }  return datafacory; } 

and on server side have:

app.js

 app.get('/artistsearch',dbhelpers.checkdbartist) 

dbhelpers.js

exports.checkdbartist = function(req,res,next){   var newartist = req.body; } 

for reason when checkdb invoked request not passing on data req.body in checkdbartist. request body evaluates {}. have idea why?
