Ability to specify search return fields #7

Open f27wood opened 6 years ago

An issue raised by a developer:

Ability to reduce the size of the payload - Probably not an issue but there's a lot of attributes we may not need. The ability to add a parameter/override and specify return fields could assist.

f27wood commented 6 years ago

The API is unable to provide the ability to specify a search result, however we are looking in to providing two result options:

A full result - includes all of the available metadata. (This is what is currently returned.) A summary result - includes a limited set of data

We have yet to define what would be in the summary result, and would love some feedback on this. See issue #8.

The ETL pipeline could be revised to produce and store in Solr both a full and a shortened result. There doesn't seem to have been much demand for it though; generally I tend to think this is one of those features that people imagine they might want rather than actually do need.
