if (FALSE) {
mermaid_search_projects(tags = "WCS Fiji")
mermaid_search_projects(countries = "Fiji", tags = "WWF-UK")

# The countries (or tags) do not have to be exactly the same
# A project is returned if it *contains* the countries/tags:
mermaid_search_projects(countries = "Tanzania", limit = 1)[["countries"]]

# To search within your projects only, use mermaid_search_my_projects():
mermaid_search_my_projects(countries = "Fiji")
