@joleroi - Agreed that this should be implemented.
The info is available in gamma-cat already in the "gamma_names" key:
- source_id: 106
- common_name: Galactic Centre
- gamma_names: HESS J1745-290,VER J1745-290
- fermi_names: ''
- other_names: Sgr A*,Sagittarius A*
@vorugantia - How much work would it be to add the strings from "gamma_names" to the search field? I never looked at your implementation and don't have time to add it. So unless you have time, please put a very short description what needs to be done here, so that someone can implement this in the future if they want to.
@joleroi - Please try again, I think this issue is resolved.
The search prompt in the catalog view of gamma-sky.net only works with the
common name
of a source.For example if I want the VHE Energy source at the GC, I have to type 'Galactic Center', 'HESS J1745-290' does not work. This is confusing, because for other sources (e.g. HESS J1745-303) the "HESS name" is the common name so when I start typing 'HESS J...' I do get suggestions, they just don't contain the source I'm looking for (HESS J1745-290).
I would suggest to also prompt
Gamma names
,Fermi names
, andother names
in the search prompt, unless there is a technical reason not to do so.
