Enhance Search Functionality in BPDM Pool

[HeyHardy]

As a CX Member, I want to enhance the meta search functionality within the Business Partner Data Management (BPDM) pool to:

• actual low priority

• clear requirements from catena-x use cases needs to be aligned

• Implement Advanced Filtering: Enable searching by BPN, name, valid from, location (adress, geocode, postalcode, city)

• Support Autocomplete: Suggest terms as users type

• Integrate Pagination: Efficiently manage search results display

• Enable Sorting: Sort results by relevance, date, or alphabetically

• The goal is to improve user experience, ensuring that searches are fast, accurate, and user-friendly

Probably, we need a responsible at the BPDM expert group to drive this topic and come of with a minimum set of attributes to search for.

@HeyHardy: Could this set (BPN, name, valid from, location (adress, geocode, postalcode, city) already be the minimum set of properties. What is meant by "geocode"? What is meant by "valid from"?

I will keep this issue open for now but I think it is currently conceptually defined in the linked issue eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#603 . So here we should put more effort in actually defining more technical details in how we want to implement such a search functionality

The eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#603 will be splitted into two separate issues.

Therefore this issue here needs to be refined again what it really covers.

The eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#603 is now split in one more issue.
This 603 is meant for the enhancement of the BP search function.
The newly created issue eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#1148 is focusing on the aspect of establishing an automated BP look-up for ANY BP data record in the CX BP Pool (no matter if CX member or just shared BP data record).
@maximilianong @Sebastian-Wurm @jupakajo @nicoprow : As I was not sure abaout all details (e.g. current implementation, assignees,...) of the issue template: Would you please check from your side and enrich the issue eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#1148 ? Thx!

[maximilianong]

Further clarifications needed from expert group.
Implementation issue will be updated soon.

@maximilianong Could you specify what's excatly missing? The eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#603, dealing with the search criteria should be sufficient regarding requirements (we aligned with Nico and Daniel). So here DEV can work on, to my knowledge.
For the CX POOL lookup up by a sharing member: eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#1148, this probably needs to be refined further regarding aspects of access, policies, ...
