keyword search #22

Open mjpost opened 6 years ago

mjpost commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have general keyword search available and consistent everywhere, that would then be mapped into particulars for each corner of the program. We should be able to search on

year
author
abstract
title
venue (though I think this is less important)

arXiv defines these keywords, but I think we should allow longer keyword names (as listed above).

Current status, you can do:

bibsearch author:post year:2013
bibsearch where -a %post% -y 2013

Current issues (keywords here, we can discuss with more detail in person):

Inconsistent syntax.
':' syntax conflicts with searches including ':', e.g. in keys. Can be solved with quoting (see also #21).
The where command above also returns a paper by Postma, with my current bib.

Implemented the column:query syntax for search (4e3ac7b) and where commands (7ae80cf).

The querys are "sanitized" before being further processed.
