I could use some help with a pretty basic search that is returning results that I did not expect. In the main search bar, I entered “vegetable intake”. The search returned every dataset that matched either vegetable or intake, in any of the field names or descriptions. If I want to narrow this down to only those descriptions that have both words “vegetable” and “intake” in them, how would I construct the search? We are using v 0.8.41.

hey @microscopic-table-21578! We’re actually working on a feature to support this exact use case

awesome! is that the advanced search feature that was demoed here ?

this is dataset level description but we’ll add field level description as well

we’d like to be able to search field level descriptions separately from dataset level descriptions

makes sense- we’ll make those separate filters 🙂

and of course, we’d love to be shown columns (fields) as results, not just datasets, but I understand that is a bigger change that may be coming in the future?

mmm, we would likely show in the future a search snippet

thank you!

that would say something like “matches description of `column_a`”

right. but in the future future 🙂 will you be able to return a list of columns (across datasets) that match the search criteria, instead of returning the datasets that contain columns that match the search criteria?

ah I see- yes in the future future we do plan on returning columns as search results

great, thank you!

for now, you can do targeted searches: editedFieldDescriptions: term OR fieldDescriptions: term to find the word "term" in field descriptions only not sure how to do multiple words though, maybe wildcard is acceptable?
