# Identifier search plugin

The plugin provides a new search input method that searches for an OR combination of a given list of whitespace separated identifiers.
After installing the plugin you can create a new search template and add the identifier search widget.

## Installation ##

1. Copy the plugin folder into `data/plugins/identifier_search/`
2. Copy the identifier_search_widget folder into `data/frontend/plugins/`
3. Restart your disqover setup to detect the new plugin.
4. For optimal performance, you can specify the URI of the canonical type in which you want to search. To do so, go to the plugin panel in the admin console and fill in the Canonical Type option.
5. Create a search template that uses the plugin.

## Known limitations ##

The identifier search plugin works best when the amount of search instances is below 500.
To improve the performance you can optionally add a canonical type URI in the global settings of your plugin. This will filter the results to this canonical type and can improve the performance.
