Searching by URI in author does not return results

[wlpotter]

In the Srophe version, the search field for Author also accepted Syriaca person URIs (https://bl.syriac.uk/search.html?keyword=&author=http%3A%2F%2Fsyriaca.org%2Fperson%2F13&title=&syrText=&syrRubricsLimit=true&syrFinalRubricsLimit=true&syrIncipitsLimit=true&syrExplicitsLimit=true&syrColophonsLimit=true&syrOtherLimit=true&place=&person=&decorations=&decorationsType=&shelfmark=). This does not appear to work for the Gaddel version at the moment.

I'm not sure we want to implement the same way rather than have a separate field? Otherwise, we'd want the author index for a record to include both the text content of the msItem/author/persName and the msItem/author/@ref attribute value

There are no syriac person uris in the sample json data format under author, but I am happy to add them. Do you want to search by uri in a separate field on in the author field?

[emgeier]

Added data for search as a distinct key/value set-- key: authorURI

[wlpotter]

Great! We can discuss if we want to have a separate search field for these, so I'll add to the meeting agenda

Let's add some Gray text in the boxes describing what can be searched.

[wlpotter]

• We do want the same search box to search both the authors and authorURI fields
• We'd like to add placeholder text to that search box to indicate this: "Search by author name, e.g. 'Ephraim', or Syriaca person URI, e.g. 'http://syriaca.org/person/13'"
