I have a general and perhaps philosophical inquiry to make about searching in
DSpace.
Our DSpace instance still uses Lucene. We have an eclectic mix of collections
with some very unique meta-data requirements. As a result we have created over
25 search indexes. We also had @mire customize some code in the xmlui interface
which allows us to create collection specific browse indexes (they did a nice
job by the way). We have been very happy with the search and browse
functionality in our repository because we can provide very good search and
browse options on a collection by collection basis.
Recently I have become aware that there is a desire to quit supporting two
search options (Lucene & Discovery) at some future date. I suspect that Lucene
is the one which will get dropped. I don't care which wins out as long as it
supports "traditional" searching. It must include standard Boolean searching of
fielded data. I do not know if Discovery supports this. If your repository runs
Discovery, I would like to talk to you about how it functions. I would also
like to hear from anyone who wants to discuss the philosophy behind the search
function DSpace.
If you happen to be going to the DuraSpace sponsors meeting in March, I will be
there and would love to discuss this futher. If you like, we can do it over a
good bottle of wine (my treat). Also, two of my staff will be at the user group
meeting in KC (SPARC meeting). Let me know if you want to discuss this with
them.
