Created new search page and added common search strategies. Except for commercial media and date/modified ranges - there seem to be issues with searching on these currently.

To discuss on Monday - what the issues are with commercial media and date/modified ranges, as we should add these as issues to be resolved before closing this. (Can be resolved under maintenance)

f27wood commented 5 years ago

Once issues resolved, doco to be updated with creative commons and date/modified

Conal-Tuohy commented 5 years ago

@staplegun has written the text for searching by licence and dates, but I think he still needs to update the wiki page; then I think this is complete

staplegun commented 5 years ago

Complete - added search hints for searching commercial media and by modified date. https://github.com/NationalMuseumAustralia/Collection-API/wiki/Searching-the-API
