Put whoosh-based search on datasets.html once functionality lands in datalad #20

Closed mih closed 3 years ago

mih commented 7 years ago

PR https://github.com/datalad/datalad/pull/1630 brings new metadata search technology to datalad. Side-effect is that we can "export" the search index from http://datasets.datalad.org and provide search-as-you-type style search functionality on datalad.org. I think this would be quite nice for showing how much we got already.

Remember that datasets.d.o is just what datalad publishes, ie then this should be done within datalad code itself Also it already has search as you type, just non recursive, ie only across datasets currently listed.

mih commented 7 years ago

Sure. That is what is the purpose of that PR. Also, I was talking about search as you type across all metadata, regardless of datasets and their actual availability or files or whatever.

yarikoptic commented 7 years ago

not sure how feasible could that be given that all interactions are client-side in our web ui design (there is no server support)

whoosh based search landed, but not actively used AFAIK and not default, and unlikely datasets.org itself would expose it. datalad-registry might eventually provide search, but unlikely to be whoosh based anyways.
