Advanced search not working as intended

[aarppe]

When I provide two search criteria, e.g. 1) êkwa in the Cree field and 2) checking only single words, I'm not getting the desired results.

My intuition is that the problem here is that "single words" is not checking exact content but tagging at import time. We likely want to have "single word" mean "no space characters" instead of a specific key, but that would likely make search a bit slower. Alternatively, we should just regularly run a script that makes sure the tags are as expected (single words are actually tagged as words and not as phrases)

Yeah, it probably is that the word/sentence status of the Cree utterance is determined based on which ELAN annotation tier it is based upon. The clearest definition currently is that words don't have any spaces. Nevertheless, we know of compound constructions that do consist of two or more words (so are not single words), but are not full example sentences either. But to mark those, one would need to manually scrutinize the database content.

Alternatively, we should just regularly run a script that makes sure the tags are as expected (single words are actually tagged as words and not as phrases)

For now, this is probably the best solution.
