Catalog metadata search not working

[dvstans]

When viewing the materials data in the catalog, using the following valid metadata query:

md.project.investigator_name == "agar"

Did not return any results (should have matched thousands). In addition, resetting the metadata query field did not return the search results back to default. To get any results working again, the catalog home key has to used. This could be an error in the client code with packaging the search request.

Something strange is happening... the query above is incorrect in that it should be looking for "Agar"; however, the reset on the metadata did not work. After retrying, it now is working as expected. Using "Agar" returns expected results, "agar" returns no results, and the reset works in both cases. This retry was done after running a similar query directly on the DB using arangosh, so it may be a case where the index was stale? Need to investigate further.
