Hi Tiago,
As open source software, DSpace is built by volunteers. We don't have a
centralized development team and all new features are built by community
volunteers.
So, while expressing your interest in a new feature is a wonderful way
to start a discussion, we'd need to find one or more institutions (or
individuals) willing to collaborate to build the new feature and give
the code back to our project.
If you or anyone else reading this is interested in helping develop this
feature, we have some guides which talk about how to give back to DSpace
(with code or support help):
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/How+to+Contribute+to+DSpace
DSpace software really is a worldwide collaboration. We'd love others to
join in and help contribute.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim!
How can I cast a vote favoring this implementation? :)
The same thing mentioned by Nada happened in our organization after
migrating from 1.8.x to 5.x - our users were lost without the OR/AND
combobox to specify advanced searchs.

Hello Nada,
AND/OR searches are still supported in DSpace, but they now must
be typed into the search box (similar to you'd do in Google or
similar). The search form itself has changed to better support the
new Solr-based search engine (added in recent versions of DSpace).
The new Solr based search engine gives us many distinct
advantages, in that our entire browse/search system utilizes it
(so that Search/Browse become more similar in nature) and we are
able to now support the "Discover" facets on homepages /
Community/Collection pages, and better searching within content
(including hit highlighting).
But, in terms of boolean searching, you can still use it by simply
typing it into the search box, for example:
qatar AND thesis
You also can limit by fields (if you know the field name/value),
for example:
qatar AND type:thesis OR type:article
At this point in time, the boolean options are not selectable in
the "Filters" section itself. That might be possible to implement
in the future, but we'd want to determine if enough of our users
see that as a useful addition or not (and then locate a volunteer
developer to help make that happen).

Dear DSpace community,
We have upgraded our Dspace to version 5.4 . With the previous
version we had (1.8), we noticed that we can combine search
filters using Boolean search operators (OR, AND,NOT).
But with the upgraded version, we don't have the ability to
combine search filters using Boolean search operators (OR, AND).
In DSpace version 1.8 :
----------------------------------
In DSpace version 5.4 :
----------------------------------
So what if I want to search for this query "qatar" then filter
the results to get only Article *OR * Master Thesis How can I do
this with DSpace version 5.4?
Could you please explain why combing search filters using Boolean
operators feature is not supported with v. 5.4?
Regards,
Nada Abo Eita
