Hello, It looks quite nice to experiment with different options. http://drtc.isibang.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/1849/244 The link refers to an interesting write-up.

I'm not sure if everybody knows that Lucene (and so the DSpace) has fuzzy search. In my opinion this feature is not promoted enough (or not promoted at all). You can use the fuzzy search by adding "~" to query. For example we have an item about the movie Spiderman. So the query "spiterman" doesn't give us any results whereas "spiterman~" give us the right item about the movie (and maybe more items depends on the fuzzy search setting). This can be use also for the thing I personally call "cutted of diacritics search". Because it also works for words with diacritics (so "krejcir~" gives all items where I'm the author even if there is only my surname with diacritics ("Krejčíř") stored. It's not exact because this gives also results which have nothing common with me. On the other hand why not to use it. For details you can consult the Lucene documentation. hope this post might help Vlastik ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vlastimil Krejčíř Library and Information Centre, Institute of Computer Science Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic Email: krejcir (at) ics (dot) muni (dot) cz Phone: +420 549 49 3872 ICQ: 163963217 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
