[seek-dev] Re: [kepler-dev] When Searching

[Rod Spears]

I know the "Data" Search Tab and field is somewhat temporary... But 
given that is what we have today and will have for sometime, should I 
use the text in the search field to search every field in the Darwin 
core schema (as Chad has suggested, which is obviously more costly than 
search a specific field, but how costly I don't know) or should I enable 
it so they can search a specific field? Since these are scientists would 
it make sense they know what field they are searching for?
