[ckan-dev] Change the default ckan facet search

Wed Oct 23 17:24:18 UTC 2019

Hi Harald,
Thanks for your prompt response.
It seems I wasn't precise.
1. with the example "content type" i just wanted to define and clarify what I mean by the the field name and value. So my use case is that whatever user defines as an extra field, the name of the field should automatically be added to the facet. Imagine if someone adds an extra field with whatever name e.g "X1", my ckan should automatically be able to add that to the corresponding facet search.Does it work? Or it only works when users are limited in giving the name field by some conditions such as to start all the extra field names with "extra_...." and then add that to the solar search syntax like "extra_*".
Regarding your explanation for point 3, do you mean that at the moment it is not implemented?
Do you know whether this is easy to implement it with manipulating the core code? or it makes more sense to make a plugin?
Best regardsMani

 Hi Mani

If I understand correctly, you want to have a look at the SOLR search
syntax.

1. To find any dataset that has the field content_type, no matter its
value, search for "content_type:*"

3. Searching for the union of the packages for two or more
organizations works like so:

"organization:(decision-analysis OR stream-ecology)"

Making that more userfriendly, e.g. pimp the facet search UI so that
it allows users to combine searches with "OR", would be nice, and I'd
happily use it if someone implemented it :).

2. That's how I do it too. Hints for more elegance welcome.

Cheers,
Harald
