Mark Stanger is requesting the ability to search by multiple polygons.

@steveoh Do you think that the web api for this project will be able to handle multi-part polygons?

Mark's email for reference:

The DEQ Interactive Map (DEQ-IM) already performs a single selected polygon search. I am very interested to know the amount of work required to enhance the single polygon search so as to enable a IM user to select multiple polygons as a search method.

Question: Would adding a multiple selected polygon search to the IM be considered a 'tweak' or would it need to be negotiated/funded as part of an upgrade?

As you may remember, while upgrading/adding DWQ searches on the DEQ-IM, you described how to search for features in a searchable data layer using a previously selected polygon. I then made a training video to demonstrate the "selected polygon" search technique (go to 'training videos' in the upper right corner of the DEDQ-IM and on the DWQ tab select the last, or third, training video titled "Feature Search Within a Selected Polygon").

I recall briefly mentioning this topic as an unrelated 'in passing' comment a few months ago (via email or phone) while discussing another issue. Your reply was that it might be possible to simultaneously hold the 'shift' key and select multiple polygons.
