Simple and advanced modes #43

Open interrogator opened 4 years ago

interrogator commented 4 years ago

Legal historians generally don't need all the linguisticky stuff of buzzword. So we need to figure out how to handle simple/advanced modes.

I've found it's hard to have these as toggles always available to users. If simple mode turns off regex, internals need to change and so on.

The first solution (for law-hist) will be hopefully to set simple mode at corpus level. Then we filter out very linguisticky columns from view, no ability to search by them, etc.

Later, the ideal solution would be a per-user setting (in their preferences, they can toggle advanced mode).

Things to do include:

Then later, simple_mode becomes a feature of User, not Corpus

Swiss law branch currently provides a simplified interface. Advanced features should be introduced by the above mechanism.
