Add Collector field to advanced search form for ALA

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to track down (preferably by SP) records associated with a collector 
but there are so many classes (collectors), there is no practical way to find 
them. An associated search for facets (I use the term for fields exposed in the 
ALA portals vs ws) when the number of classes exceeds ~30 (a few pages) seems 
badly needed. I've set High as currently some facets can't be used.

Being able to click on headings for "Class" and "Count" to sort up/down would 
also help.

Isnt this function covered in the biocache? In which case Im lowering the 
priority.
If the users what to do in depth interrogation of the data: biocache, if they 
want to model with species layers: SP. Thats how i rationalise the functional 
breakdown.

• Added labels: Priority-Medium
• Removed labels: Priority-High

If we expose the facets in the SP, they should be usable. I see very good 
reason if we expose "Collector" then we are permitting someone to subset the 
records on Collectors.

http://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/search?q=*:*#tab_mapView is no better.

I thought there was a collector option in the advanced search for here:

http://biocache.ala.org.au/search#tab_advanceSearch

there is for AVH

http://avh.ala.org.au/search#tab_advanceSearch

so we'll add it here. Assigned to Nick

Regardless the "quick search" searches across the collector field, and so does 
the search from the front page, so the functionality is covered in the Atlas.
