Kostas Stamatis created DS-1237:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Support date ranges in advance search
Key: DS-1237
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1237
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JSPUI
Reporter: Kostas Stamatis
Attachments: daterange_patch.diff, README.txt
This proposed extension (implemented by National Documentation Centre/EKT -
http://www.ekt.gr) allows date range search in advance search. When a search
index is declared as a "date" search index in configuration file, then, when
selected in advance search drop down lists, a new drop down list appears to
select the range type (equals, before than, after than or between) and the
appropriate fields appear to the user to input the date ranges for the search.
The date range search is based on Lucene's range search mechanism.
The only limitation of this extension is that the companison is String-based
meaning that it works better if the metadata value in the date fields are saved
in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
USEFULNESS
---------------------
In case you want to search for records that are dated within a period of time,
you can use this extension to add this functionality in DSpace's advance search.
CONFIGURATION FILES
---------------------------------------
In the default configuration file of DSpace (dspace.cfg) just declare the
search indices that you want to be of type date, as follows:
#Declare the indices that are of type date and want to have ranges in searching
search.index.date.1 = date
EXAMPLES
------------

Note: Select search by date and then a new option drop-down menu appears
