[UI Enhancement] Show media license in search results
Open, LowPublic

Description

Background: The search results include, words, size, and upload date. License for the content pages isn't really needed because most pages have the same license, however, media licenses are important for re-users.

Issue raised by a user (and paraphrased):

  • As a reader, I can't easily find out what license a file has when viewing search results
  • As a media re-user, licenses are not displayed in search results when querying for reusable files
  • As an editor, it's difficult to find files without a license for updating, deleting or to add in appropriate licenses

Proposed solution: In each search result - add the license (maybe as an icon) fetched from the commons metadata api.

Note: this is not the same as the previous metadata related suggestion. This suggestion merely proposes the addition of a license label next to each file result.

debt moved this task from needs triage to search-icebox on the Discovery-Search board.

We would have to add this to the indexes, since we don't track it right now. Structured Data for Commons would make this much easier - delaying until then.

Closing out low/est priority tasks over 6 months old with no activity within last 6 months in order to clean out the backlog of tickets we will not be addressing in the near term. Please feel free to reopen if you think a ticket is important, but bare in mind that given current priorities and resourcing, it is unlikely for the Search team to pick up these tasks for the indefinite future. We hope that the requested changes have either been addressed by or made irrelevant by work the team has done or is doing -- e.g. upgrading Elasticsearch to a newer version will solve various ES-related problems -- or will be subsumed by future work in a more generalized way.
