Hi Chris,

We had one item that wasn't searchable that should have been. I could find it by directly doing a solr search, but it wouldn't turn up in the web pages.

The mention of things being set private made me try setting the item as private and then setting it back to public. This worked.

Is a private item recorded in the database in the item table under the "discoverable" column?

That's correct.

The item in question was the only one in our collection that was set as in_archive but not discoverable. I set "discoverable" to true, but still it was not searchable. Only resetting the public status through the web UI worked. So I suspect private/public is marked elsewhere.

You need to re-index the item after changing the "discoverable" value. Changing this via the UI automatically triggers the reindex, which is why it then shows up. I'm not sure exactly what steps would be needed to make the reindex work after changing the "discoverable" value directly in the db -- it may be that just running the discovery indexer with no arguments is enough, or it may not.

cheers,
Andrea
