Denote in Library Card which publishers are indexed in EDS
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

EDS only indexes a subset of our total available content. Users might want to make informed decisions about whether they should search in EDS or at the publisher's website. We can help with this by denoting in some way which resources are indexed.

We should add a new resource field with three options:

  • Searchable
  • Partially searchable
  • Not searchable

In My Library, this can be displayed as an icon in the card, like:

On the left, the solid line magnifying glass signifies fully searchable, and on the right a dashed line signifies partially searchable. The hover text should be:

  • "Fully searchable"
  • "Partially searchable"

Resources which are not searchable should have no magnifying glass.

Hi @ samwalton9 could you explain this task in more detail.since there is no good-first-issue to work on right now?
Thanks

@Samwalton9: Could you please answer the last comment? Thanks in advance!

Hi - I'll write up some new good first tasks, this isn't ready to be worked on yet.

T271192 is a new good first task you might be interested in working on.

I'm not sure how/where we can get a magnifying glass and dashed variant. Let me know if I need to create something (something that looks better than my 30 second job in the mockup).

@Samwalton9 These are the search icons we can use: https://fontawesome.com/v5.15/icons?d=gallery&p=2&q=search

We can't use the Pro ones, so there are only about 4 icon options. Let me know which ones we'll use

Do we have any other options? search and search-minus are probably the best of the bunch but I don't really like search-minus.

We discussed potentially just using search with a solid black color for searchable and grey for partially searchable, with no icon for not searchable.

What will the default be for the searchable field? My instinct is the Not searchable option.

One more question: are we going to manually modify the searchable field, or do you want me to build a command to change searchable partners?

We'll manually modify this :)

While playing around with this I could see users being confused and thinking this means the individual collections do/don't have search interfaces. Let's add a key to the sidebar to explain:

Updated wording, per Nikki's feedback:

I've implemented the key section on the side. Let me know if it needs any additional changes.

This isn't in production yet but marking the task as resolved because it's been rolled into the T240128 PR.
