Motivations

The metadata editor has a nice interface to pick keywords from thesauri. It would be useful to have the same functionality in the advanced search for reasons of:

• quicker access to keywords through search functionality
• pick keywords based on themes (through thesauri)
• continuity in interface design (search + editor)

Proposal

Advanced search with added button

Select keywords

Details

• Re-use of the extJS app.KeywordSelectionPanel from here: KeywordSelection
• Keywords will be added to keyword box like e.g.: "precipitation depth" or "hydraulic conductivity" or "normal resistivity" or "acoustic waveform"
