improving search filter description in literature search #258

Open ymgan opened 10 months ago

ymgan commented 10 months ago

Users are confused about what they can search for using "Text search" - whether it's searching for abstract, title or something else? It would be helpful to have that clarified in the search filter description

MortenHofft commented 10 months ago

It will essentially search all text fields and match them fuzzily. I can see there is 47 fields searched. Think of it as everything that isn't IDs or codes.

https://api.gbif.org/v1/literature/search so yes, title, authors, abstract, relevance , seriesEditor, institution, patentApplicationNumber,

Please help me rename the filter if needed and suggest a description that you feel clarifies it.
