Summary: Data search link from "featured data use" pages: ensure the query is complete
Description: A "featured data use" story like http://portaldev.gbif.org/page/202 has a data search link at the bottom under the header "RELATED GBIF RESOURCES". Depending on the search that is necessary to retrieve the dataset, this search URL may combine OR-ed criteria for the same attribute, as in the given example (http://portaldev.gbif.org/occurrence/search?TAXON_KEY=6&COUNTRY=SR&COUNTRY-2=GF&COUNTRY-3=GY). The work-around implemented on the Drupal side, using a sequence of numbers after the field name, needs to be caught on the data search side, so that it translates into the full query. Currently, this is not yet the case.

Comment: TH: "(...) critical as this is one of the showcase linkages between the communication and data areas of the portal. If some of the more complex filters were not yet working we could (...) explain it as a 'soon-to-be-fixed' issue, (...) so not an absolute blocker"

With https://code.google.com/p/gbif-portal/source/detail?r=2304 the portal will now redirect the "XXX-Number" parameters correctly which Drupal is emitting.

An example of one of these links exists on the footer of page:
