Cannot do an OR filtered search on CC status #18

If you wish to retrieve all images with a Creative Commons status of CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-NC-SA and Public Domain, you cannot do an “OR” filtered search, so would need to do individual API queries per rights lookup.

@staplegun and I discussed how to accommodate boolean algebra in the API without introducing too much complexity, and I believe our plan was to implicitly OR together all parameters which have the same name, and to then AND those clauses together. So ?foo=a&foo=b&bar=c would produce a Solr query q=(foo:a OR foo:b) AND (bar:c)

e.g. something like this should work

http://nma.conaltuohy.com/xproc-z/object?rights=CC%20BY%204.0&rights=CC%20PD%201.0

So this is an intended feature not yet implemented.

Okay great, will mark it to be included in the full public release (or could come earlier)
