Proposing a way to search for annotation term through "semantic search widget" and/or "attribute search widget"

[yvanlebras]

Hi amazing NCEAS team !

Hope all is ok on your side!

It can be of great interest, following mentions from #1654 to propose a way to seearch for annotations terms in the same way we can now serach for "attribute" name with autocompletion based on terms from metadata docuemnts from the catalog.

Heya @yvanlebras, this is something we've talked about but I didn't see an existing ticket for it so thanks!

This would indeed be very useful but it's actually a bit challenging with our current search index design. That said, we're working on a service that make building such a widget pretty straightforward. I've added this to the list we're keeping at https://github.com/DataONEorg/slinky/issues/56.

Hi everyone, just a follow up as it seems to me last message from https://github.com/NCEAS/metacatui/issues/1654 is related and will maybe allow this if I am not wrong
