Refactor Search to separate component for searching runs and component for drilling into nested catalogs #62

Open danielballan opened 3 years ago

danielballan commented 3 years ago

The current implementation of the model Search could be described as:

Search IS a model for drilling down into nested catalogs.
Search HAS a model for searching catalogs of runs (RunSearch).

Proposal:

Make RunSearch a separately useful component. It's only part of the way there at present.
Make a separate model for drilling down into nested catalogs as a stand-alone thing.
Combine by composition in a small "drill down and then search" model.

As part of this work, make it possible to pass custom search fields into Search and thread them down to SearchInput. Currently there is no way to do this.
