Scott Preece commented on FALCON-1095:
--------------------------------------
Do you really think users will find the "subsequence" model intuitive? I don't
think I've ever seen a search model like that - matching anything that contains
a sequence of letters in the same order, with no notion of words or breaks. It
seems prone to a lot of false positives.
> Support free-text search for entities

> Key: FALCON-1095
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1095
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Ying Zheng
> Assignee: Ying Zheng
> Fix For: 0.7
>
>
> When users have hundreds or thousands of entities to manage, they may not
> remember the exact name/tag of the entity. We would like to provide a more
> convenient way for the user to search an entity by providing keywords in name
> and tags. We also plan to provide a search UI, similar to Visual Search, to
> allow the user to enter keywords in a search box and display the filtered
> results. The user can click on the entity to view details and search its
> instances as well.
> To support free-text search, we plan to extend the LIST API:
> GET api/entities/list/:entity-type
> Parameters changed/added:
> :entity-type Valid options are cluster, feed, process and all. Here
> "all" represents feeds and processes.
> nameseq Subsequence of entity name. Not case sensitive. Example:
> "Sample1" is a subsequence of entity name "SampleFeed1".
> tagkey Tag keywords, separated by comma. Not case sensitive.
> Results
> Return the total number of entity results and a list of entities.
> e.g. falcon entity -list -nameseq housetexas -tagkey estate
> This should return the entity with name "houseSellTexas" and tags
> "category=realestate".
