Re: [dspace-tech] Stop words in Browse search

Hi Deborah, On 08/31/2016 02:43 PM, Fitchett, Deborah wrote: We’ve noticed that the browse search in our DSpace instance doesn’t take into account stop words (like “A”, “The” etc) in titles, so “The abundance of Latrodectus katipo Powell 1871 is affected by season and vegetation type” comes up in the title browse listing under “t” for ‘the’ rather than under “a” for ‘abundance’. I’m assuming this is by design, it just turns out to be counter to the expectations of our folk with library backgrounds.   Does DSpace (we’re on v3 XMLUI, but will upgrade soon to v5) have any option to change the behaviour of the sorting in this context? I see "A technical, marketing and financial overview..." listed in between "Technical efficiency..." and "Techniques for optimization..." in your repository's title browse, so it must be doing some stopword detection. Perhaps check for differences between the title you mention and the one I found? Claudia's suggestion of checking the md language sounds good to me. If DSpace doesn't know the title of the md value, I suppose it can't know what words are stopwords. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer Lead Software Developer, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand +64-7-837 9120 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
