Disambiguation of identical search results

[jg10-mastodon-social]

As a PodOS browser user, I may have multiple resources with the same or very similar label. I would like to easily tell the difference in search results to navigate to the one I am looking for.

This is an elaboration issue to explore options to enhance UI/UX of this use case.

At the moment, pos-rich-link is used, which shows the label, host and description of the resource.

Search results can therefore be disambiguated by adding one of the description predicates within the label indexes.

PodOS/core/src/thing/Thing.ts

Lines 140 to 151 in 6a1e28c

	description() {
	return this.anyValue(
	"http://purl.org/dc/terms/description",
	"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/description",
	"http://schema.org/description",
	"https://schema.org/description",
	"https://schema.org/text",
	"http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment",
	"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#summary",
	"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#content",
	"http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#note",
	);

This is a text heavy solution.

Labels in the label indexes may be different to labels defined with the resources themselves.

It is therefore also possible to add unicode emojis to labels to efficiently distinguish between them.

Note that they currently need to be encoded as utf rather than as escaped turtle unicode sequences #128

It might be useful to associate icons with classes and to display the class of a resource alongside it in the search results.

Classes of resources are not currently stored in the label indexes and dereferencing resources for this purpose would likely have performance implications, as well as possibly resulting in loading into the local store documents that the user does not wish to be loaded.
