Improve UI: sequence search results for community datasets #270

Open eharkins opened 3 years ago

eharkins commented 3 years ago

266 allows datasets in the sars-cov-2 build catalogue to be included in the sequence -> dataset search results available at https://nextstrain.org/search/sars-cov-2/. We'd like to improve how those datasets appear in search results on that page in the following ways:

It also might be good to update language on the search page to inform folks who arrive at that page (not necessarily from the main sars-cov-2 resources page which has its own language about the search feature) what the requirement is for a dataset to be included in the search results. Or just make existing language describing the data behind the page more accurate.

The current language is:

Search all SARS-CoV-2 nextstrain builds, including historical ones, for particular strain name(s)

(on https://nextstrain.org/sars-cov-2) and:

Current database: 28136 samples, from 312 datasets on the core nextstrain bucket

(on https://nextstrain.org/search/sars-cov-2)

The parts of this I would say (after #266) are no longer completely accurate are

nextstrain builds

assuming this means build by the Nextstrain team - maybe it just means build created with Nextstrain software.

and

datasets on the core nextstrain bucket

since this isn't true of all builds in the catalogue.
