Regex search

Component: ckan Keywords:
Cc: Repository: ckan
Theme: none

Description

Search of package name and title (and other fields) using regular expressions.

Current example use-case: Wanting to specify packages with title beginning with 'B'.

Issues:

  • Syntax for specifying regex over natural language search - could it be contained in the q param so be available to users of the WUI, or do we simply make it alternative fields?

Implementation:

  • Postgres reg ex searching detailed here:

  • Repository set to ckan

  • Theme set to none
  • Resolution set to invalid

This is over 6 months old so closing in line with our ticketing policy. Also, I shouldn't think we really want such a complicated search anyway.
