Summary

Draft blog post announcing the new Advanced Search feature for the DANDI Archive dandiset list — Gmail/GitHub-style key:value search operators plus an autocomplete dropdown.

Hold for merge until the feature ships. This announcement depends on the following PRs being merged and deployed to production:

Once those land, bump the date: front matter and the post directory name to the publish date, confirm the docs link is live, and merge.

Note: the post intentionally does not call out num_subjects: (#2827) by name to keep the operator tour focused; it's covered by the "and more" framing and the docs link. Easy to add a line if you'd like it highlighted.

Proposed promotional tweets

Pick one, or stagger a couple over a few days. ~280 char each.

Option A — feature launch

🔍 New on the DANDI Archive: advanced search. Filter dandisets with Gmail-style operators right in the search box:

species:mouse author:"Doe, Jane" published_after:2024-01-01

Search by species, contributor, role, funder, affiliation, owner, date & more. 🧵👇

Option B — discoverability angle

Searching the @DANDIarchive just got a lot more powerful. Type species:, author:, funder:, affiliation:… and an autocomplete dropdown shows you every operator as you go. No syntax to memorize. Try it: https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset

Option C — question-driven

"Which dandisets have mouse ephys data published since 2024?"

Now you can just ask:
species:mouse approach:electrophysiological published_after:2024-01-01

Advanced search operators are live on the DANDI Archive. 🐭🧠

Option D — for labs / PIs

PIs: want to see everything your institution has shared on DANDI?

affiliation:"Your University"

Or find your own datasets with owner:"Your Name". New advanced search operators make the archive yours to slice. 📊

Option E — docs / API

The DANDI Archive's new search operators work in the UI and the API:

GET /api/dandisets/?search=species:mouse+funder:NIH

Full operator reference, recipes & error messages here 👉 https://docs.dandiarchive.org/user-guide-using/advanced-search/

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Announces the Gmail/GitHub-style key:value search operators for the
dandiset list (date, asset content, owner, contributor/role, affiliation)
and the autocomplete dropdown.
