Feature #6334
closedChange the autocomplete term count for the 'Anything' filter
0%
Description
Re: this feedback from Mike Frenock: "after clicking on the first group [from a 'PISCO' Anything filter term] (showed 18374 in dropdown box) the Mapping box showed 19105 data packages."
This 'bug' is happening because the Anything-filter autocomplete dropdown list is compiled of a list of keywords from the Solr faceted query (the actual 'keyword' field). BUT the query that is sent by selecting that 'keyword' autocomplete suggestion is a full-text search. So there may be 18374 results with the 'PISCO' keyword, but a full text search returns 19105 results.
Options of fixing this issue:
1. Remove the facet count display ('18374') from the dropdown menu
2. Add language or an icon to the dropdown that communicates 'at least 18374' - such as: '18374+' or '>18734', 'more than 18374' etc.
Both of these options would make the autocomplete dropdown different than the other filters, which may cause some confusion, but not as much as this issue most likely does.

I chose to add the plus sign + next to the counts to indicate the number isn't exact
