Search: AND / OR connection

[david-ziegler]

Problem

Our search is too poor for many users and leads to unexpected results:

• If you put in two search terms, it shows all entries which contains one of them. You would expect, that the more words you give, the more narrow is your result-List.
• I.E. if you look for "Lichtblick Ökostrom" you should only findone result https://kartevonmorgen.org/#/?zoom=6.00&search=Lichtblick%20%C3%96kostrom (Thats good: If you use hashtags it is such an AND connection: "#refill #bio" narrows down the result to one item: https://kartevonmorgen.org/#/?zoom=6.00&search=%23refill%20%23bio)

The first example is fairly confusing and makes it impossible to search for an entry which has a name of two word. i.e. "Dorf Laden" https://kartevonmorgen.org/#/?zoom=6.00&search=%23refill%20%23bio You get just too many entries.
At the Moment you are unable to find "Brot für die Welt" on the map.

Solution

Make a clear destinction, similar to google:

• And: The more words you add to the searchline, the more you filter your content. (You would use it normally, when you search something specific)
• Or: Add a comata between to terms to show entries which contain one of the terms. (You could use it to show alle entries which has #refill or #water or #trinkwasser in it.)

Hi @ziedavid
I dont know what you changed or what were your objectives.
But I think it should work like this

• #food-coop, #mitgliederladen Should list everey entry, with one of these tags Komma means OR

• #food-coop #mitgliederladen Should list only items, which have both tags. No Komma menas AND (Thats what it does allready)

• #solawi #bio, #bioladen Should list entries ether with the tags solawi AND bio, OR just bioladen

• #bio* Should list everything starting with bio i.e. bioladen, biohof, bioland (I needed to show all bycicletrips #ideenerfahren* on one map also #ideenerfahren10, #ideenerfahren11, #ideenerfahren12, #ideenerfahren13...

Now, if you use a comma its just as if you did no search at all!

I think this is the most important issue. Otherwise I would have no option to include several items in the Bildungsagenten widgets like here: http://bildungsagenten.org/der-weg-einer-jeans/#Karte_von_morgen_fuer_fairen_Kleiderhandel
