[ckan-dev] Searching datasets by field names and semantic tags

I have a few questions about enabling field-level data dictionary indexing
and searching in CKAN:

1. If the dataset is not hosted on the CKAN instance (i.e., the DataStore
extension is not used), obviously you can still define the dataset metadata
in DCAT format.  But is there any way to enter the field names of the
dataset, such that the a dataset can be searched by field names?  Are there
examples of a site that gives you a UI to search specifically by field name?

2. Assuming DataStore is used, can you point me to examples where it's
possible to search for datasets by field name?

3. Are there examples of dataset fields being semantically annotated and
searched in a meaningful way?


Thanks!
