Search and filter by course

The text of UXPROD-1304, describing which searches are needed, is unclear in places. The last update to that issue was a comment linking to a Google Docs mockup at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-fPAYq_osCCeGK78XtOUjEncylHXdJ9Ary4NzHUGfc0/edit#slide=id.p — since this is most recent instruction, I am following that until told otherwise.

Based on the Google Docs mockup, the specific searches we need to support for the Course Search feature are as follows:

• Free text (chosen from a dropdown, I guess):
  • All fields
  • Course name (name)
  • Course code (courseNumber)
  • Instructor (courseListingObject.instructorObjects[].name)
  • Registrar ID (courseListingObject.registrarId)
  • External ID (courseListingObject.externalId)
• Dropdowns (each collapsible as in Invenory)
  • Course department (departmentId)
  • Course type (courseListingObject.courseTypeId)
  • Term (courseListingObject.termId)
  • Active/Inactive/Pending (courseListingObject.termObject.startDate, courseListingObject.termObject.endDate)
  • Location (courseListingObject.locationId) — NOTE can be omitted if it entails additional development work due to the cross-app inventory searching.

The last of these (term start- and end-dates) will need to support inequality searching; the others are all exact-value searches, probably with truncation for the keyword ones.

The text of UXPROD-1304 also mentions "Cross-listed #" (but I am not sure what that means) and "Service Desk" (but we have removed that from the UI). So I think the list above is exhaustive for course searching. (See also UICR-31 for the Item Search facility.)
