Evaluate and create better APIs for search #60

Closed untoldone closed 9 years ago

untoldone commented 9 years ago

Several have asked for generally improved search capabilities in APIs (e.g. #47). This bug exists for the exploration of different ways to improve search such as adding direct access to various ElasticSearch functionality via API, adding Regexp search, adding various fuzzy or ranked search techniques etc.

The result of this bug will be new API to make search any dataset that might be hosted by BloomAPI more searchable while maintaining scalability of the API.

@boroth Check this out -- may help with lookup + autocomplete.

This will be deployed with release v0.2.1.
