Review page shows multiple entries for multiple annotations to same word

[Craig Berry]

If a particular word has more than one annotation attached to it, it will get multiple entries in the list on the review page. This is unnecessary because a single list item will allow access to all the annotations to that word, and it's distracting because only the first time a word appears will its annotation be highlighted.

It is quite common to have multiple annotations per word. For example, setting both the original and standard spelling will result in two annotations.

We may be able to add a group by to the query, but this is complicated by the fact that some annotations span multiple words while others span only one.

Some of this could be handled by searching (or at least grouping) by ticket rather than by annotation. All of the annotations done by a single user at the same time (such as a correction, a regular spelling, and a comment) have the same ticket number. This would not help for cases where different annotations to the same word were created by different people or at different times. Searching by target word is tricky because some targets are single words and others are ranges of words.

    Review annotated words, not annotations

    The search on the Review page has been returning one hit per
    annotation, which seemed like a good idea at the time.  But the
    very common practice of entering more than one thing when
    correcting a word makes that an awkward and inefficient way to
    display things.  For example, it is quite common to enter a
    corrected regular spelling as well as a corrected original
    spelling; these have been getting displayed as two separate hits
    even though their content is identical and only the first one
    gets decorated with the highlight and the ability to open the
    annotation editor window.

    So instead group by annotated word, which for some purposes means
    we need to operate on the annotation-item descendant of the hit
    rather than the hit itself (which is no longer an anotation-item).
