Search for images

[jburel]

Report

The following queries

https://idr.openmicroscopy.org/searchengine/api/v1/resources/image/searchvaluesusingkey/?key=Organism&data_source=idr

returns

Organism: riccia ciliifera, number of images found: 222

whereas

 https://idr.openmicroscopy.org/searchengine/api/v1/resources/submitquery/containers/
with

{
mode: "searchterms"
query_details: {
  and_filters: {name: "Organism", value: "riccia ciliifera", operator: "contains", resource: "container"},
  or_filters: [],
}

returns

Organism: riccia ciliifera, number of images found: 1127

Expectation

Both methods should return the same number of images

To validate the correct result, a query to the DB is required

The first query searches the searchengine for the number of images containing 'Organism.' It retrieves all available values associated with 'Organism' in images, providing each value along with the corresponding number of images that contain it. So, the results come from querying the image key/value pairs.

So, the number of images which have Organsin: riccia ciliifera is 222 images is resulting from querying the image key/value pairs.

The second query requests the search engine to find containers that contain a specific key-value pair (Organsin: riccia ciliifera), i.e. query the project key/value pairs. It returns each container along with the number of images stored inside.
It returned the project (idr0157-peters-bryophytes/experimentA), which has 1127 images inside it

By modifying the second query while using the same URL—changing the resource from 'container' to 'image'—the response will return the corresponding number of images, each containing the queried key/value pairs (Organsin: riccia ciliifera ) inside the container, I.e. 222 , as it retrieves key/value pairs specific to images.
