Description

The homepage currently lists all codelists owned by the "opensafely" and "primis-covid19-vacc-uptake" organisations. The codelist search only returns codelists from these organisations.

This is increasingly unwieldy, and does not allow for codelists created by other users or organisations to be discovered.

We should support:

  • browsing organisations / users
  • search across all published codelists from all users and organisations
  • searching across terms in codelists

Research direction

Start by reviewing the homepage codelist listing and the existing codelist search behavior described in the issue. Trace how published codelists are selected and how organisations and users are represented. Done means users can browse organisations and users, search all published codelists, and search terms within codelists.
