----

== 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 ===
[[Image(thesaurus-search-button.png)]]

=== Select keywords ===
[[Image(selected-keywords.png)]]

== Details ==

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