Moving the Advanced Search to KS

1 Initial Problem

The presentation of search results does not use KS-Elements. Existing filter elements are to be transferred to KS filters. In addition, the displayed information will be discussed so that search results are more clearly structured and understandable.

Advanced Search

  • Besides Title, Description and Keywords the Advanced Search allows filtering results according to (mostly) metadata. Consider adding these criteria as filter elements and thus dispense with the extra tab.
  • There is not neccessarily a Search Term which is hard to grasp. 
  • If the advanced search is integrated into the normal search results, then we have to deal with the fact that normal search results may include a folder and if then Metadata filter of the LOM Metadata is used the results lists is emptied because the folder has no LOM Metadata

2 Conceptual Summary

  • The Advanced Search can be configured thus there is not always an input field for a search term. 
  • For the LOM Meatada the section title (i.e. Lifecycle) should be used as a prefix to the actual filter title. 
  • It is not possible to support all types of Custom Metadata with KS-Filter elements. Thus we can not longer support all types of Custom Metadata in the Advanced search.
