Search URL parameter photo_license does not allow multiple filtering in Identify

[murphyslab]

Platform: Website

Browser: Firefox, Chrome, etc…

URLs:

1. Identify with CC0 (2 pages of results)
2. Identify with CC-BY-NC (58 pages of results)
3. Identify with CC0 + CC-BY-NC (zero results)
4. Explore with CC0 + CC-BY-NC (>6000 observations)

Description of problem:

According to the Search URL Wiki, one should be able to filter for multiple license types using the photo_license parameter:

@jdmore

Search by multiple user license types

Single license queries are already available from the Filters panels. To query for multiple license types:

• &photo_license=CC0,CC-BY,CC-BY-SA (example for all photo licenses accepted by Wikipedia)
• &photo_license=CC0,CC-BY,CC-BY-NC (example for all photo licenses accepted by GBIF)
• &sound_license=CC0,CC-BY (example for multiple sound licenses)

Use of the filter for multiple license options currently does not work in Identify (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify). The Wiki does not mention this, so I’m guessing that it’s a bug.

you can work around the problem by using lower-case values. i’m not exactly sure why it makes a difference, but it does when you’re dealing with multiple values for that parameter in the Identify screen.

It does indeed work. Thank you @pisum!

Thanks much @pisum and @murphyslab for figuring out this quirk. I modified the Search URL wiki to reflect this information.
