Advanced Search #227

Open jqnatividad opened 5 years ago

jqnatividad commented 5 years ago

CKAN uses Solr for search.

There's little documentation though to take advantage of Solr's features in CKAN.

It'd be nice if we can expand the User Guide and the API Guide to include more information about how to create advanced queries using Solr syntax. cc @pdelboca

Already, this info compiled by @davidmiller is full of nice tidbits!

I created a little documentation for opendata.swiss, which is available here: https://handbook.opendata.swiss/en/library/advanced-search.html

Related to this, I implemented an autosuggest feature to suggest search term as you type (using the Suggester feature of solr). This is currently part of ckanext-switzerland.
