Hi, Rod:

Acturally, the data field search is base on a ecogrid query. Currently it 
read the search field from configure file and it is easy to modify the 
search fields which the user want(we only have eml example there).

But now in configure file, there is no query itself. It only has some 
search fields in there.

Now I am working to make the data search function will read a ecogrid 
query segment directly. It will be done  late of today or tomorrow. After 
this is done, you only need put a ecogrid  query about Darwin core in 
configure file and "data" search will handle that.

Thanks.

Jing
