Allow searching multiple words and ignore case with Taxonomy (GBIF) #5

Open johnbradley opened 10 months ago

The Search Media API endpoint (/api/media) has a Taxonomy (GBIF) (f.taxonomy_gbif) query parameter. Currently this parameter only works when a user queries with a single word and is case sensitive. It would be helpful for this parameter to allow multiple words and be case insensitive.

Examples

The following examples use curl and jq.

If a user searches for "Pan troglodytes" no items are returned:

curl --silent --request GET \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --url 'https://www.morphosource.org/api/media?f.taxonomy_gbif=Pan+troglodytes' \
  | jq '.response .pages .total_count'
0

If a user searches for "Pan" 4484 items are returned:
