When I search by BOTH a specific Program and by a Degree (Associates or Bachelors), the results should be any school where corresponding CIPxxASSOC >0 or CIPxxBACHL >0

This is a more explicit write up of #566

[LisaGee]

@ultrasaurus @shawnbot How risky are these changes?

[shawnbot]

@LisaGee a bit risky. As with #953 and #954, until the API implements these as "developer-friendly" fields, we'll have to maintain a mapping of program names to the numeric codes (xx) in these ones.

[ultrasaurus]

I think this is addressed by #566

[ultrasaurus]

moving to accept to confirm that this is, effectively, a dup (the other is not yet ready to accept)

[ErieMeyer]

Assigning Lisa to confirm

[LisaGee]

this does not seem to be functioning as expected.

From Issue #1100
Having some difficulty making the program-and-degree search work. Take CIP01 (Agriculture), and bachelor's degree. Two main problems are happening. There should be 237 schools, 243 counting schools with no threshold earnings data, but I only get 186.

The first school (with default sort threshold earnings) should be Stanford; that one doesn't show up at all, and it cuts instead to Cornell. I have no theory on this one.

It also appears predominantly two-year schools that offer a bachelor's degree in that program don't show up. For instance, Pennsylvania College of Technology and Vermont Technical College. Dropping preddeg=2 from the data file yields 147 schools, though, so still kind of inexplicable mismatch with the number of search results.

[shawnbot]

Mystery solved: I made these changes in an unmerged branch a while back. I'm going to cherry-pick the relevant commit and push to another branch.

[shawnbot]

So I have a fix ready to merge for this, but the result counts I'm getting still don't match up. Compare the bachelors in agriculture searches:

• on dev: 186 schools, Cornell first
• on degrees-offered: 206 schools, Stanford first

Predominantly two-year schools that offer a bachelor's in the selected program won't show up because our 4-year filter explicitly only includes schools with predominantly bachelors. That might be the source of confusion around the counts in #1100? Reassigning to @LisaGee for triage.

[LisaGee]

still filtering by predeg2||3

Need to explore all side effects of behavior.
For example, if a user look for schools with Associates in RI - will get 2
But if look for schools with Associates in RI with Computer Associates (CIP11ASSOC), it would be wierd to see a diff number, like 5. Diff schools appearing, especially new ones would be wierd.

Other items to complete before this issue can be resolved:

• Frontend query updates
• Testing (Include in the results, all school who offer and award an associates or bachelors degree #951 tests should cover)

[barkimedes]

It's working! Tested it out on my mac/chrome and I got the correct filtering when using a combination of program and degree length.

Specifically:
search with Military Technologies and Applied Sciences

Search with Any Program/Degree: 21 results
Associates: 8 results
Bachelors: 13 results

Closing--this looks like it is working 🇺🇸
