Event search

[m-strzelczyk]

We need a way to search events.

would be good to have a /events?year=2014 route to filter the event list to a single year

I was thinking about this -- how relevant is it? Is it worth building? As an Arcanum user, I find myself only ever wanting to search for specific past wobs that I remember reading. I don't find myself searching for specific events to read all the wobs from that event. (Then again, I am not a power user, so maybe there is demand for event search.)

If the consensus is to build it, then I have a few clarifying questions:

• what should be exposed as search params? Just event name and date?
• how should the event search be surfaced in the UI? Right now there's just entry search in the top-right hand corner.

my desire for the year parameter was when arcanizing the coppermind I would often know the date of the entry but not the event nor the "exact text" enough to match it, so I would want to at least filter to the years events and scan that list

to expose the years I would be fine with a "second" pagination list on /events which touted the year

to fulfil the whole of this ticket I would suggest having a fully-featured advanced-search page for all the event metadata, but I have no particular need/use for that right now and tbh even the arcanization isn't much of a priority for me

Got it, thanks!
