Hi Keith,
Looking at your results, I think Discovery is actually just showing off
some metadata inconsistencies in your DSpace site.
So, for example, the author facet link for "Zide. J. M. O." shows
repeating "Department" facets:
http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/13077/discover?filtertype=author&filter_relational_operator=equals&filter=Zide%2C+J.+M.+O.
* University of Delaware. Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering. (1)
* University of Delaware. Department of Materials Science and
Engineering. (1)
* University of Delaware. Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering. (2)
* University of Delaware. Department of Materials Science and
Engineering. (3)
If you hover over those repeating facets and look closely at the URLs,
you'll see that the names of these departments differ by a single
*space*. The first one has two spaces between "University of Delaware."
and "Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering"...while the
second entry only has *one space*. Unfortunately, HTML rendering is
making these seem to look identical to the human eye, but in the source
code of the HTML page, you'll also see the spacing difference.
So, I agree, what Discovery is showing is very confusing. But, I
believe it's actually showing you correct facets, as Discovery isn't
smart enough to realize that two Departments values with different
spacing are actually the same Department.
Long story short, I think if you correct your metadata to have
consistent spacing (either one space or two spaces but not both), then
Discovery will correctly show the facets/filters that you are expecting.
I hope that helps!

Hi All,
I have dspace version 5.3 installed, running xmlui and using the
discovery layer.
I've added 3 additional filters/facets to show up on communities and
collections, the new fields are Program, Department and Advisor. These
are the fields in the dublincore
definitions, dc.description.department, dc.description.advisor
and dc.description.program. In the dspace.cfg file I've set them up as
search indexes and in the discovery.xml file I've added each as a
search filter and a filter facet.
I've run the index-discovery command, which I'm getting results for
the new filters and the facets are showing but the correct count is
not showing.
Here is an example:
The link below is to a community in the repository:
http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/13077
When the link is clicked the department facet is produced but the
results counts are not correct.
If you click on the author facet link (Zide. J. M . O.) which shows 4
results which is correct, but this author's has 3 items in the
University of Delaware. Department of Materials Science and
Engineering department.
At this link: http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/13077
The department "University of Delaware. Department of Materials
Science and Engineering" only shows one result count in the department
facet.
When you go to this link:
http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/13077/discover?filtertype=author&filter_relational_operator=equals&filter=Zide%2C+J.+M.+O.
The same department above now show a count of 3 items.
I've cleared the index and re-run them but I'm still getting the same
results.
This is a big concern because we are using the discovery layer as
means to locate items in the repository.
Any help with this will be appreciated.
Thanks
Keith
