> Discovery-based (relevancy) search results are being returned in an order of
> least-relevant to greatest relevance (ascending) - even though the interface
> shows that default search results will be displayed in descending order.
> I'm running on DSpace 1.7.2 (with discovery enabled) and have tested on two
> different dspace instances with different themes (both custom and prefab),
> and within two very different data sets. To reproduce the issue I'm
> mentioning, all that needs to be done is a simple search from within two
> different search forms. For example, using the Mirage theme in dspace 1.7.2
> follow these steps:
> 1) Open two browser tabs - tabA and tabB
> 2) In tabA navigate to the root (home) page of your dspace instance (you can
> use either the main column or side column search areas).
> 3) In tabB navigate to the advanced search page of your dspace instance
> (we'll be using the main [left-hand] column search area).
> 4) Choose a term to search for with both search areas. I used "access"
> because I knew it was in my data set(s).
> 5) Enter your search term within the tabA search area and submit the form.
> 6) Enter that same search term within the tabB search area and submit the
> form.
> At this point you will notice that the search results are not the same, or
> more precisely (if you have less than 10 results you'll notice this more
> easily) the results are in opposing orders.
> 7) On the tabB page, notice that the sort options' "in order" box, the
> default listing is "descending".
> 8) On the tabB page, select "ascending" in the "in order" box, then re-submit
> the form. Note that the order of results is reversed.
> 9) On the tabA page, select "ascending" in the "in order" box, then re-submit
> the form. Note that the order of results is not changed (they were already in
> ascending order).
> 10) On the tabA page, go back to "descending" in the "in order" box, then
> re-submit the form. Notice that now the order of results is reversed.
> At this point I'm going to assume that the numerical system representing
> relevancy is of the flavor that the higher the number, the more relevant the
> item record is to the search term(s). If this is the case, I believe that
> would mean that descending order would be the more "correct" default display
> of search results in that the most relevant results would be listed at the
> the top or beginning of the list.
> With this said, I think the take-away might be that for the "tabA" search
> areas that were mentioned, they default results in an ascending, rather than
> descending order. It seems quite misleading to the user (having results
> listed in ascending order) due to the "in order" comboBox displaying
> "descending" by default.
> I used the DuraSpace Jira Issue Navigator to see if anything related to this
> had been entered, but I didn't see anything.
> Would it not make more sense to have those "tabA" search areas default to
> displaying relevancy results in descending order?
> Many thanks for your attention, and I hope this is helpful.
