This is a high priority issue to complete prior to launch. We need to make a few changes to filters to make behavior better align with user expectations when filtering the directory.
1: Remove keywords from the "Name or Keyword" freeform search. We will just search Name.
2: Add the rest of the directory tags to the Subject Area filter. This involves a few changes:
Rename Subject Area to Expertise
Use option groups to split directory tags into two groups.
-- The current Subject Area tags should be listed first under the group heading Academic Subjects
-- The rest of the tags will fall into a group called Other Expertise
-- The hint text should read Select Expertise
Since we are losing the ability to search the "areas of expertise" free-form text, I would like to circle back and talk about splitting search out from filters for a more robust directory experience post-launch, but this will work well enough for now.
