Which index? Browse or Search?
Our Browse indexes consist of:
date (date.issued)
author (contributor.*)
title (title.*)
subject (subject.lcsh)
subject (subject.mesh)
subject (subject.att)
series (relation.ispartofseries)
We wanted to have subject indexes that were browsable also be ones
that used pre-coordinated headings. We check
those against the national authority files and run monthly checks on
those since there is no authority control in DSpace.
Search indexes include the above plus several others.
Does this help?

I’d like to get some general feedback from the DSpace community.
What elements did you choose to index for searches in your DSpace
instance?
It struck me today that indexing date:dc.date* [all the dates] is
not a good idea, because the date accessioned will also be returned
when someone searches for a date -- a result that would be useless
to virtually all users. I’m thinking I might be missing other search
nuances, so any feedback about what others are doing is appreciated.
