full text search: how to search #48

@gsautter how can the full text search be used? just single terms, boolean operator, such as "Rhinolophus AND roosting"?

gsautter commented 2 years ago

No operators like AND ... you can simply add one or multiple terms, and the results containing the most of them in the highest combined prominence (number of occurrences per treatment length, and section they occur in) come out at the top ... classic Information Retrieval, really. That said, if you search for two terms, any result containing both of them should come up above results containing only one of them ... and this should also work for three or more terms.
