Hi Anne, The current "show more" behavior in the DSpace 7 search facets only displays the next 5 facets in order to ensure the performance is good. Attempting to display 100s or even 1,000 facets after clicking "show more" would be extremely slow.
The intention of the search box under each facet was to do the same thing in an easier way. It's supposed to allow you to quickly search for the facet you are looking for (rather than continually clicking "show more" or loading them all at once). And then allow you to select that facet quickly. This was a redesign of the old 6.x behavior into 7.x, but the goal was the same.... you should be able to find even smaller facets quickly and us them to filter your results. However, based on your feedback, it does appear that it's not doing exactly what users expect in this scenario...I agree with you that it should not require searching from the beginning of the facet text. I'd consider this a bug. Maybe you could create a ticket with thoughts on how to improve the behavior? https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues Regarding the checkbox display.. I'm not seeing that behavior in Google Chrome (it appears aligned at the top). I wonder if this is a browser specific bug? If so, I'd recommend creating a ticket for this as well, and list the browser you are using so we can retest in that same browser. Thanks for the feedback. In general, we do welcome creating bug tickets or usability tickets (or comment on other's tickets if you hit the same issue as someone else). Generally, the more an issue is mentioned or commented on, the more developers become aware that this is a common problem for many/most sites & the higher priority it'll get. The opposite is also true, when a bug/usability issue is not​ reported into our issues list, it's highly unlikely anything will get done as it's simply not tracked in the system. Thanks again, Tim ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of alaw <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 27, 2022 5:16 PM To: DSpace Community <[email protected]> Subject: [dspace-community] DSpace 7 facets? Our repository, VTechWorks, runs DSpace 6.3 XMLU and serves our comprehensive university with over 100 departments and programs. We provide a Department facet for our ETD collection, https://www.lyrasis.org/programs/Pages/DSpace.aspx. If the patron selects "View more..." in that facet, they will be presented an alphabetical list of all department and programs, from which they can select the program or department of interest. The ETD collection in the Iowa State University repository running DSpace 7.3, https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/collections/0830d32e-14e1-4a4f-bb8f-271a75ed35af?scope=0830d32e-14e1-4a4f-bb8f-271a75ed35af, also offers a Department facet. However, if one clicks, "Show more," they are presented 5 more options in that facet list. It seems impossible with this presentation to ever get to less popular programs such as Fisheries. Is there the possibility of having the current DSpace 6 XMLUI behavior to allow the full list of options? Not only is it simpler for our patrons, we use this functionality extensively to manage our content, for instance using the Content Type facet to list all content types to correct outliers. Is this functionality planned for a future versions of DSpace 7? If not, have others thought how they might provide this functionality? I also tried the search box within that facet. That seems to find the first word of a department but not subsequent words, for example listing a match for Physics but not Astronomy for the department, "Physics and Astronomy." One final observation about the facets is that the check box for each option seems to be vertically centered on each option. This is fine for single lines but is confusing for multi-line options such as Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. I propose putting the check box inline with the first word of each option.
