# Use a subset of open data sets to see if they are in geoportal.
# Works only when logged into SP or on campus VPN

# Import search terms

# Sets prefix and suffix for search URL-------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Search term -------------------------------------------------------------

# Selects search term from spreadsheet [row,column]
search <- searchterm[106,2]

# removes spaces and replaces with '%20' for search URL
spaceremove <- gsub(" ", "%20", search, fixed = TRUE)

# Adds the search prefix to the URL.
