Hi,

I'm trying to search for datasets with a certain keyword. Every query I try though returns 0 results:

http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/search?keyword=lifewatch

Some datasets do have that keyword though, e.g. http://data.inbo.be/ipt/resource?r=bird-tracking-gull-occurrences, but I noticed keywords are not displayed on GBIF dataset pages: http://www.gbif.org/dataset/83e20573-f7dd-4852-9159-21566e1e691e, though they are available via the API: http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/83e20573-f7dd-4852-9159-21566e1e691e

According to the documentation:

keyword parameter = Filters datasets by a case insensitive plain text keyword. The search is done on the merged collection of tags, the dataset keywordCollections and temporalCoverages.

Searching for the machineTag "13" (value for key "crawl_attempt") or temporalCoverage "breeding season 2013" which are both available in the above dataset, doesn't return anything either:

http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/search?keyword=13

http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/search?keyword=breeding%20season%202013

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Peter
