Allow for or in workflow query

[paulzierep]

The GTN hosted workflow query like: https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/workflows/embed.html?query=microbiome is useful to select dedicated workflows for a community, would it be possible to add or as an option to fine grain the query possibilities, similar to e.g. query=microbiome+longreads.

We'll look into this! Do you envision needing and support as well? because I'm guessing longreads might return a lot of non-microbiome results.

[paulzierep]

isn't my example an and query ?

[hexylena]

Ok, then I'm hearing that we need both. We'll have to see what we can do in terms of syntax!

[paulzierep]

As I understand it and does already work, try e.g. https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/workflows/embed.html?query=microbiome+nanopore

[hexylena]

It definitely wasn't explicitly implemented 😅 hence my confusion. microbiome+nanopore is interpreted as microbiome nanopore (since + is treated as space), it's a complete accident that you're seeing any useful results, because we've put together a couple different fields including tags, which we do a simple text index match against (i.e. no fuzzy query, terms aren't treated separately, etc.)

I'm guessing you'd find more results if it was doing a proper and so, ok, we'll implement both.

[paulzierep]

ah ok, now both our confusion finds an end :) in this case both an and and or would be nice to have
