[IDEA] Advanced Searching

[dfores]

Allow for more flexible order of operations by adding Boolean operators in the advanced search

It would be great to see an enhancement that would allow a user to search on the same metadata column with two different values. Right now if you add the same two metadata columns with two different values nothing returns. when multiple columns are put in it would be neat to have the ability to set the order of operations; see screenshot below.

I suggest a more SQL like syntax rather than an organized UI like that. Perhaps with fields that can be drag dropped.

e.g. where ${TYPE} in ('ORU-RO1','ADT-A04')

This makes more sense to me!

To quote @pacmano1 , 1000 upvotes!

I love the idea of writing the search parameter in a javascript format, but I'd be happy with just the ability to specify a regex in the search field.
