filtering not working

Take for example https://namstr.ucdavis.edu/search/ENTOMOLOGY. I get good results back, and on the left side I get filters. However when I select the filter it doesn't filter down to just those results. For example, the HUTCH filter says there should be 9 results, but when I click on it and get https://namstr.ucdavis.edu/search/ENTOMOLOGY?building=HUTCH, there are other buildings shown in that list, and the filter numbers also don't look right anymore.

Add Security to API

So I think the best plan is to add to the API controller an auth filter, so that every request is checked against a list of valid keys/tokens.

We've used something like this before:
https://gist.github.com/srkirkland/f72be06b457d1dad8dae87e12811d70e

Then on the controller you just add it like [AuthTokenFilter] to the API controller class.

The one tweak would be that we'll want to store a list of valid tokens instead of one single token like the above example has. Should be pretty easy though, just read from the config and split the string into an array of valid tokens, and check that the passed-in token matches any one of those.

Note this example is from the older version of .NET, so some tweaks might be needed.
