[jira] [Created] (ATLAS-1905) Search UI is confusing to user

Laura Ngo created ATLAS-1905:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Search UI is confusing to user
                 Key: ATLAS-1905
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1905
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: atlas-webui
    Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
            Reporter: Laura Ngo


As a business user it has taken me days to understand why my UI search queries were 'unstable' - it turns out the UI is unclear!

The search interface must be clear to business users. What we actually have is:

Basic search
* Search By Type
* Search By Tag
* Search By Query

Advanced search
* Search By Type
* Search By Query

So it looks as if the Advanced search has fewer options than the basic!

...but worse, the two aren't analogous despite having the same lables. 

A 'Search By Query' in Basic return many results, but 'Search By Query' in Advanced returns 1 for hive_table where qualifiedName='db_name.table_name@clauster_name'.

Only by reading JIRA tickets here did I realise that Basic was a full text search whereas Advanced as DSL.
