NOTE To search metadata you need to add a 4th rule "rule_*_subtype"

Operators for metadata are using the text/tag types AND numeric types in a single list as they can be ints/strings/dates.

Currently there is not a simple way to identify what metadata types you have saved. New methods will be created for this.

To search a mixed type like metadata you must search using 4 rules.

  • Search rule 1 for band containing 'Prodigy', Search Rule 2 for bbm > 120
    • rule name (e.g. rule_1['metadata'], rule_2['metadata'])
    • rule operator (e.g. rule_1_operator[0], rule_2_operator[12])
    • rule input (e.g. rule_1_input['Prodigy'], rule_2_input['120'])
    • rule subtype (e.g. rule_1_subtype['4'], rule_2_subtype['9'])
