Spatial or temporal filter box does not work for sensors/observations #193

Open zdefne-usgs opened 8 years ago

zdefne-usgs commented 8 years ago

Spatial filter box does not work for sensors/observations (returns empty set). Also why do we have both observations and sensors on the list (they both seem to point to the same data sets)? croppercapture 68

This is on the short-list of new features to be deployed. Each individual station will be available in the catalog as a dataset. Right now individual stations are not searchable and only available as members of station collections like East Coast Real-time Sensor Catalog. The spatial and temporal filters will filter these individual stations. I'll keep this open to track progress. @shane-axiom

@shane-axiom Revisiting this issue while the focus is back on the "catalog" (https://github.com/USGS-CMG/usgs-cmg-portal/issues/272). The spatial filter seems to work now. However, time filter is completely broken, it is not even possible to select a time period (dates are stuck at 1970).

The filter applies to the results returned on the right pane, but not on the list on the left. I still don't understand how that list works. Do we have a controlled vocabulary for these keywords? There seems to be a disconnect between the numbers and the number of data available, they do not seem to match. Are the sensors not counted in? What is the difference between Observations and Sensors? A new user will have no clue. I will check with @rsignell-usgs to have his suggestion.

Additionally, IMHO having the spatial filter map open by default would be nice. Or at least the advanced search options should be visible by default (no need for clicking on the "advanced options"). These are nice features, why should we be hiding from the user?
