DKAN Search

If you plan to build your data site with a Drupal theme rather than a decoupled frontend the metastore_search module provides a dataset search view that you can use as a starting point.

Metastore Facets

This is an optional module for sites that are not using a decoupled frontend. It provides example Categories, Tags, and Publishers facet blocks that you can use with the dkan_dataset_search view.

drush en metastore_facets

Use the block layout screen at /admin/structure/block, and place the facets into a sidebar region, restrict the display to the /dataset-search page only.

If you do not see the dataset search view, you will need to run the following to get the view and facets working:

composer require drupal/facets:3.0.x-dev

drush en metastore_facets

drush cim --partial --source=modules/contrib/dkan/modules/metastore/modules/metastore_search/config/install

Existing sites be very careful here

This config import will import the search view as well as new search API config. If you have custom search api configuration be sure to have it exported to code for safe keeping.

The search view and facets are for demonstration purposes and provide a starting step for your own implementation.
