Allow for Dynamic Searching in Data Layers Tool #268

Open jamesdoyle21 opened 2 years ago

jamesdoyle21 commented 2 years ago

This came up in our conversation with Chris yesterday. Now that we can search for individual stations, that opens up a lot of possibilities for the user. There will be situations where a user will want to display multiple data stations on the map, but not display the whole layer. If we are able to allow them to use dynamic searching, we should be able to handle this.

This could go well beyond just displaying multiple data stations. If we see reasons a user would want more functionality with the data layer search, let's discuss it here.

think scripting:

44097 && 44025

or something like that with ands and ors

I can't think of a situation where we would need anything besides AND and OR, but here is a list of all of Google's options: https://ahrefs.com/blog/google-advanced-search-operators/

This will also be useful as we move toward something we can call the "Transit Tool" because displaying multiple data stations on the map will be an important part of that.

so are we doing search modifiers like google? ANDs ORs and things like station:
