Description: The cube supports range queries via to= and from= parameters while the search API uses a single parameter with 2 comma separated values.

Cube: /occurrence/counts/year?from=1800&to=1899
Search: /occurrence/search?year=1800,1899

This is confusing for users and it would be better if we harmonize the two. In order to allow ranges in various parameters propose to use the comma notation everywhere and adapt the cube WS]]>
