Provide option to modify format of Search / Root Collection browse headers #631

Open ykho001 opened 7 months ago

Ex 1. Both https://dev2.synbiohub.org/search and https://dev2.synbiohub.org/root-collections display similar headers that may not be sufficient information for the user.

Proposal 1: It would be useful, at the instance level, to be able to show/hide different header categories. Potential other headers that a user might want to see information on include:

Ex 2. It is not clear what some of the headers refer to: e.g. for “Type”, what this is, and whether a user can filter/sort “Type” down to “component” or “sequence” via the header or via the filter options on the left navigation panel.

Proposal 2: Provide an option to be able to sort/filter the results by each header

Proposal 3: Provide a tooltip for each header category and what it indicates.

Proposal 4: For the browse Root Collection tab ( https://dev2.synbiohub.org/root-collections) specifically, it would be a nice option for the user to be able to toggle between the tabular results shown to more visual card format (like in https://synbiohub.org/browse ). This could also result in additional information being displayed (e.g. the logo/icon of the collection if available, verification badges, maintenance status, public/private, open/licenced, etc.)

Lens.org is an example of faceted search with a UI that includes many of the proposals above: (https://www.lens.org/lens/search/patent/list?q=sfGFP&p=0&n=10&s=_score&d=%2B&f=false&e=false&l=en&authorField=author&dateFilterField=publishedDate&orderBy=%2B_score&presentation=false&preview=true&stemmed=true&useAuthorId=false)
