1122	JSON Extra data not searchable	dread	pudo	"It is possible to use the CKAN API to insert JSON format data into package extra values, but this data is not found on searching.

we encountered a Problem concerning accessing Arrays/Lists.

curl -XGET 'http://ckan.net/api/rest/package/hbz_unioncatalog'

will get you amongst others:

 ""extras"": {""publishingInstitution"":
""[u'http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-605',
u'http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-290',
u'http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-38M',

u'http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-929',
u'http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-Zw1',
u'http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-832']""}

but if I try to query this:

wget
'http://ckan.net/api/search/package?q=lobid&publishingInstitution=""http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-605""'

I get only two packages, among the package ""hbz_unioncatalog"" is
missing. (These two packages have only one value for
""publishingInstitution"").

The ""extra/publishingInstitution""-Array was uploaded through a ""curl
-XPUT ...
 ""extras"": {
