Hi David,
We announce new features such as this on api mailing list. The next iteration on the search API will likely be in September since we are heading into a very busy period of analytic runs while several staff have vacations.
Many thanks, Tim

Great, thanks!
When you say "we'll add this in the next iteration" ... how long does it take?
Or how can I be aware of "new iterations"?
Thanks again David

We'll add that one as well. We've recently moved all our search infrastructure so can start accommodating more fields and offering e.g.. full text and facets. That was not possible before.
Thanks, Tim

Tim, if you offer particular fields to be searchable, there is a pretty old request for StateProvince to be used for filtering:
http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-991
There are some duplicated issues reporting the same need since year 2009.
This will be very useful for geographical filtering within some countries where nearly all provided values for this field are pretty standardized.
Maybe it's time to do it?
Regards, David

We can add the protocol in the next iteration. Any other fields you have particular interest in?
All the best, Tim
