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

Hi Alex,

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

All the best,
Tim
