Filter plugin about annotator

[aron]

Current mockup for the plugin:

Typing into the filter bar will search the current page for annotations that contain the contents of the input. eg. Entering "cake" will search the annotation properties for the string "cake".

The filter can be refined to look at only certain properties. For now these will be "annotation", "user" & "tag" and can be toggled by clicking the relative filter button. If an annotation is matched it remains visible on the page. Annotations that are not matched lose their highlight colour.

The remaining annotations can be cycled by clicking on the left/right arrows next to the filter input. The current annotation will have a brighter background colour.

Future features.

• Allow searching for more than one string. Either seperating keywords with spaces or commas.
• Use a scoring algorithm to rank results. eg. LiquidMetal
• Auto suggest keywords.
• Search the backend store for annotations.

Feedback.

• Make the bar full width and sit above the site when not scrolled.
• Remove the +/- tags and give each filter its own input.
• Split on spaces and filter by individual keywords
• Remove close button and always show bar when loaded.

Mockup 2 incorporating above changes.

Each filter now has it's own filter bar. Annotations will only be displayed if all of the filters match. An active filter (one with text in the input) will have a blue label.

Annotations on the page can be navigated by clicking the prev/next arrows to jump to the next visible annotation on the page

This has been implemented as of c2efd5a. Filters are included by the Permissions and Tags plugin as well as a default one to filter on annotations. Any bugs or feature requests should be opened in a new ticket.
