Add way for users to color code their search results

[smarziano]

When a search result was completed, CUTGroup testers expected the results to be color coded based on differences in the data record. This also relates to issue #210.

As an example, for potholes reported in 60660, it would be an improvement if users could color code all "Potholes Patched" in one color and then "No Problem Found" in a different color. This would help them make some conclusions from the dataset they are seeing.

@tomschenkjr I think this could be fixed if we can have OG support OR filters. The user could add two of the same datasets , 311 Service Requests - Pot Holes Reported, and have one with the filter most_Recent_Action = pothole filled with one color and another with most_Recent_Action = no pothole found with another color.

@PriyaDoIT - yeah, that makes sense.

@tomschenkjr @smarziano
Actually, we don't need OR for this. It works for AND. Since 311 data is iffy right now, I used the Food Inspections dataset twice. One of them had a filter with facility type= School and the other facility type=Restaurant. Perhaps we can add this to the documentation.

Hi @reve0716 could you help update the documentation to add this information? Here is what I wrote in a recent blog entry:
Sometimes we find that users want to differentiate the dot colors within a dataset. Using food establishments as an example, I want to find restaurants and food trucks in Chicago, both of these are listed under the single dataset, Business Licenses, but I want them represented on a map as two different colors. What should I do since I can only add one color per dataset? Simple, just add the Business Licensees dataset twice and set one with the filter License_description = “Retail Food Establishments” and the other License_description = “Mobile Food Licenses,” and assign each of them a different color. In the example below, Retail Food Establishments are red and Mobile Food Licenses are blue. [I can send you the gif that I used to demonstrate this]
