Description

Site search: add additional fields to the "Study" document

see redmine: https://redmine.apidb.org/issues/49792?jump=my_page

"Study" document is confusing to users as it currently only searches things on the study page:

  • Associated publications
  • Data access records
  • Description
  • Study Name
  • Principal Investigator and Collaborators
  • Study Characteristics
  • Summary

Users expect that "Study" will return ANY study where the term hits ANY of the fields. Please add additional fields to the "Study" document, including all fields in the Variables and Variable values:

  • Category
  • Study specific variable information table
  • Variable name
  • Variable value

Research direction

Begin by locating the code that builds Study documents for indexing, then trace how Variables and Variable values are represented. Done means the listed fields are included in indexed Study records and site search returns studies matching those fields.
