#884 new enhancement

Allow combination of different types of search terms within the widget interface

Description

The advanced search in the standard interface allows users to combine multiple search terms such as: "with one of these words", "with all of these words", "with this exact phrase" or 'with none of these words". This allows a user to create very complex and restrictive filters on the metadata search. This ability is not available on the widgets interface.

Adding the same functionality to the widgets interface as this in the advanced search in the standard interface would allow users to create more useful complex searching capabilities.

They are not in the default app in apps/search but could be added easily, See widget example "advanced text search option" section http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/apps/js/GeoNetwork/examples/search-form.html

It could be nice to combine this choice with the full text search input with some type of menu to save space in the form.

The issue with GUI is that we probably not agree on which search fields are required, and that was one goal of the widgets. That is, to make customization easier according to the catalogue.
