Import with full text highlighting #97

Open azaroth42 opened 7 years ago

azaroth42 commented 7 years ago

As a textual scholar, I want to import the full text search terms used to discover the object in an external system along with the object into a viewer so I can compare across editions or copies of the work.

[E.g. initialize the state of the viewer by rerunning the Search API request after loading the manifest]

We had this scenario at Wellcome, and the UV solves it by supporting an initialisation parameter that will cause it to immediately search for that term using the loaded manifest's search service:

This requires an implementation of the Search API of course, which can return the matching annotations.

This is obviously client-specific rather than anything from the spec.
