In particular, this includes dataset.description which in many cases is very large, substantially increasing the size of the returned JSON file. For example, just ten search results from the Uganda budget dataset has a size of 135 KB

rprg: there seems little reason given that most search will be within a dataset rather than across datasets, for repeating dataset metadata in the search index.
