Beacon "bio-ontologies" searches should include their child_terms

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Searches using bio-ontologies (well, as"filters") should search on all the children of a selected term (as in the search from the subsets selection; "OR").

The useFilteringTerms now already requests the child_terms format of the response:

  • ${basePath}cgi/bycon/bin/collations.py?method=children&responseFormat=simplelist&${params}

@mbaudis: Could you check it out?

Doesn't work, I guess since w/o the OR value for filterLogic.

That is a bit of a conundrum since in principle there could than be other filters which we want as "and".

The clean way to do this would be to have the children derived at the backend, and totally to forget about them at the frontend ... This is something I'll have to do, I guess; but for now pls. just add the filterLogic=OR for this search type :-/

Can close this issue now ?
