This feature includes the following Jira issues:
Updates
Improved search functionality in Data Platform (DATA-1568)
Users now have greater control over their searches. New functionality includes:
Search for an exact phrase by using single or double quotation marks (e.g., if you search for vegetable oil, you will get all results that have either of those words but searching "vegetable oil" or ‘vegetable oil’ will yield only results that include that exact phrase).
Exclude terms by using a minus (-) symbol (e.g. searching 'vegetable oil' -'palm oil' will return all results about vegetable oil unless they include a reference to palm oil).
Expand your search by using or (e.g. searching “sunflower oil” “palm oil” will surface results containing both phrases, but searching "sunflower oil” or “palm oil" provides you with results that contain either phrase).
Color the countries on the import dependency dashboard (DATA-1589)
Countries on the scatter plot are divided by color into three categories: FEWS NET Presence, FEWS NET Remote, and Other countries.
Bug Fixes
Filtering either by Geographic or Market Filters of the exchange rate data of the country Haiti results in all of the exchange rate data of all the countries (DATA-1390)
