Allow searching by notation #10

Closed stefandesu closed 6 years ago

This could use the existing from and to parameters.

Searching for notations makes little sense because notations are not unique. What's the use case?

As I understood, http://coli-conc.gbv.de/concordances/ once had a search field for mappings where notations were used. We could use this feature there. But to be honest, I just noticed that it would be much better to use Cocoda's type-ahead search for that because it directly returns the URIs as well. Should I remove the feature again (if yes, should I force the repository back to its previous state?) or should we leave it in case it is needed at some point?

Some of the DDC notations, and others too, are pretty unique, for me it was often helpful for the mapping process to just type in the notation, but that could have been because I got used to it with webDewey.

The web interface should support search by notation for sure, but notations can be mapped to URIs via different methid, so better remove this feature to keep code simple. Typeahead for notations over multiple concept schemes is another feature request.
