[Archivesspace_Users_Group] making custom Advanced Search fields available in PUI using Extended Advanced Search plugin

[Andrew Morrison]

The documentation is wrong. Calling the define_field method 
automagically adds fields to the drop-downs in staff interface advanced 
search. But the fields in the drop-downs in the public user interface 
are hardcoded in the following locations:

https://github.com/search?q=%3Afield_options+repo%3Aarchivesspace%2Farchivesspace+path%3A%2F%5Epublic%5C%2Fapp%5C%2F%2F+&type=code

You either need to override those templates in your plug-in, or override 
the shared/search template to ignore the field_options variable that 
those templates pass to it. Those templates might change in future 
releases, so overriding them now means having to review them whenever 
you upgrade in the future.
