#Devlog 5 – Searching Robert Downey Jr. on my space app and NASA GIBS Integration. A few weeks ago, I integrated Wikipedia into my Cosmic Object Explorer so that users could receive information by combining Wikipedia data with multiple NASA APIs. While polishing the UI today, I encountered a serious bug. I started by searching about Robert Downey Jr. and well not to my surprise, the app returned information. This revealed a significant issue in my implementation. Since Cosmic Object Explorer is intended to be a vertical search engine focused on astronomy and space-related objects, it should only return results within its intended domain. The test reminded me that I had overlooked an important component of the search pipeline, semantic scoping and content filtering. The application was accepting and processing queries outside the astronomy domain instead of restricting results to relevant celestial objects. This is now a high-priority issue, and I will be working on implementing proper filtering and query validation over the next few days. What I Did Today ? 1. Improved and polished the UI for a cleaner and more user-friendly experience. 2. Fixed several client-side bugs. 3. Added support for displaying exoplanet data correctly. 4. Integrated the NASA GIBS API on the server side. 5. Performed additional testing and identified the Wikipedia semantic-scoping bug. Next Steps : 1. The first priority will be to fix the Wikipedia semantic-scoping. 2. Connect the NASA GIBS API to the client side. 3. Continue refining the search experience and overall usability. 4. Add special exploration features, such as the largest black hole or the biggest nebula and other interesting astronomical records and discoveries.
