topn query problem - trailing comma

[ehenneken]

The query

topn(5, object:M67, "date desc")

does not return any results. This is because there is no space between object:M67 and the comma that follows it. The query works when you add a space. Without the space, the object_service translates the query into

topn(5, ((=abs:M67, OR simbid:0 OR nedid:0) database:astronomy) "date desc")

which does not work because of =abs:M67,. With a space it becomes

{"query": "topn(5, ((=abs:M67 OR simbid:1136125 OR nedid:MESSIER_067) database:astronomy) , \"date desc\")"}
