Search queries for datasets with acronyms not returning consistent results

[philip-khor]

(Might be an issue with missing metadata, so I'm putting it in meta - let me know if this should be in frontend.)

Search in /data-catalogue for datasets with common acronyms does not always return the expected outcome.

PPI:

• data-catalogue?search=producer: ✔️
• data-catalogue?search=ppi: ❌

CPI:

• data-catalogue?search=cpi: ✔️
• data-catalogue?search=consumer+price: ❌

IPI:

• data-catalogue?search=ipi: ✔️
• data-catalogue?search=industrial+production: partial (IPI by section/item does not show)

Possible fix

Add the terms PPI, "industrial production index" and "consumer price index" to the descriptions for the relevant datasets.

Thanks for flagging this - we'll look into how we can expand the tagging to make the search richer. We agree that the search should account for key terms linked to the dataset, either via explicit mention in the title or description (current implementation) or through meta-tags.
