Improvements to search results #19

Open richardlehane opened 13 years ago

richardlehane commented 13 years ago

Item/Series hits should include date ranges (for Series it should be "content date range" field that gets indexed for this)
Item hits should include their series title (either in brackets following title or perhaps as plain text underneath like highlighted text field)

Could add these as "stored" fields to index (in models) so that results are quickly generated.

Might also be good to include counts of related series in the Agencies/People/Activities results (in left pane). E.g. "Unemployment Relief Council (16)" would tell you there are 16 related series for that agency. Many agencies have no related series at all, in which case leave the count out - because will look silly having Unemployment Relief Council (0)".

To do this, add new stored fields to the searchable blocks for the relevant models.

You know how I've been suggesting it would be good to be able to identify SRNSW staff accounts (so we can boost their "official" tags/comments in search results)? Since we have email addresses we can probably do this without adding any additional fields [i.e. boost if their email address ends "@records.nsw.gov.au.au"]. When we get around to improving the indexing to include tags/comments we should do this.

That's a great idea.
