Hi Anne & all, The DSpace 7 facets appear after you run a search. A search can be run either from the header (of any page) or the homepage. For instance, once you run a search for "test" you'll be sent to this page: https://demo7.dspace.org/search?query=test
You'll see the filters & other settings after running a search. This is similar behavior to DSpace 6, where you had to run a search before you could filter results of that search. At this time, there's nothing specifically on the roadmap to create a more advanced search screen. That said, as always, we do welcome contributions from anyone. So, if someone wants to build an advanced search screen or hire a service provider to do so, we'd welcome the contribution back to DSpace 7 & we'd review it for possible inclusion in a future release. That said, to be clear, the DSpace 7 search already provides the same features as DSpace 6 (along with some new features like searching on a date range). It's just that the interface has changed. For example, in DSpace 7, you can use boolean commands directly in the search box...and you can even search specific metadata fields directly in the search box, e.g. type in "dc.title:test" (no quotes) and you'll only find the word "test" in the "dc.title" field. I hope that helps! I do think it'd be great to provide more documentation on Advanced Search hints/tips. I was hoping we'd be able to add that to the DSpace 7 User Facing documentation that the DSpace Community Advisory Team has been working towards.

I do see them in the Iowa State repository, https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/home, apparently hosted by Atmire, https://iastate-standby.atmire.com/home. Are the Facets and Advanced Search on the DSpace 7 road map? We have customized them quite a bit for our DSpace 6.3 installation. Thanks, Anne On Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 10:42:02 AM UTC-5 Tim Donohue wrote: Hi Carol, No, DSpace 7 doesn't have an "Advanced search UI" at this time. Instead, if you want to use boolean searches, you have to type "AND", "OR" or "NOT" into the search box (this is similar to how one would perform advanced searches in Google). In those scenarios, DSpace recognizes you are not searching for the word "AND" and instead uses it to perform a boolean search. You can try it out on the demo site at https://demo7.dspace.org/ Try typing "test AND dengue" (don't include the quotes) in the search box.

I'm sorry I have to ask this last question does DSpace 7 still have the Advance search UI out of the box?

In a youtube with Tim Donohue, answered a question specifying that DSpace7 doesn't have the boolean search anymore but in the release notes it's mentioned that functionality in DSpace6 will be in later releases. We are currently utilizing DSpace 6 and may want to go to DSpace 7 on the existing and possible future projects, however our requirements need to have the complex search. The clients need to specify a not contained as part of their search.
