AVH hub: advanced search form changes #642

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

From Niels:

Would it be possible, in the Advanced search form, to remove the full text 
search from the Specimen section and place it in a section of its own right at 
the top? The section header can be 'Full text search' and the label for the 
text field can just be 'Text'.

I have started using SOLR for Flora of Victoria, so I know much better now how 
to query and have discovered that you can put pretty much any query string into 
the Full text search field and get the results you want (as long as you enclose 
the entire string inside with parentheses). Quite excited about that, so we are 
writing an AVH News blog entry about the extra things that you can do with the 
Full text search that you can't already do in the Advanced query form. So we 
think the Full text search will become more important for AVH users and 
deserves a more prominent place. Will clean up the form nicely too, as we only 
put it under Specimen for want of a better place.

Thanks,

Niels
