inspire geometry fields lead to 0 results in opensearch from chrome

[pvgenuchten]

this article describes how chrome facilites an opensearch use case, type the url, hit tab, type a term and hit enter. if chrome detects that this website has an opensearch interface, it will delegate the search to the opensearch mechanism of the website.

for geonetwork typing a url, tab and term works fine in chrome, however when hitting enter it will run a query including 2 spatial filters always returning 0 results

These filters are advertised in opensearch configuration, and may be suggested by the inspire opensearch recommendations...

suggestion is to detect in angular-app and/or q service if geometry and box filter have valid geometry, else skip them as a filter
