Discussion about Search functionality about geoparser

[antrromet]

@MBoustani This is how it looks now.

@smadha Thanks for that doc, its really useful. I've made some minor UI modifications based on that. We should discuss about how we would display the results on the map.

@antrromet looks great, can you put an transparent background under search result?

[smadha]

@antrromet Does search function displays anything on map?

[antrromet]

@smadha Not as of now. But of course we would have to add that functionality.

👍
This is the initial mockup that @lawongsta prepared for all the functionalities. Things have changed a bit but it should give a good idea of workflow.

@antrromet looks great. Can you send the PR for new UI changes?

[smadha]

@MBoustani We are working on new branch "search" for this

@chrismattmann
@smadha @MBoustani and I just had a call regarding the Search functionality and we reached the following consensus.
When the user types in any keyword to search, we would search the remote Solr for the results. Then whatever results are fetched, we would check its intersection with our local Solr (this has all the docs with geolocations). And these are the results that would be shown on Khooshe map.
For instance, if you search for Ak47 and you got 10k results from the remote Solr, but out of those only say 5k had gelocations associated with them, then we would display those 5k results on the map, and the user would be able to hover over the points and then exactly similar functionality as in Viewing of points.
We would change the UI to remove the pagination, and list of results. Would only be displaying the Khooshe points as of now.
