Hi Carol, Sure, it's likely possible...it may require some Angular/Typescript code to work correctly. Technically, all the backend pieces are already there...So, it should be more a matter of modifying the UI to look how you'd want it to look & craft the same sort of query to send to the backend. I unfortunately haven't looked into this in great detail though, so I cannot provide more specific advice than that at this time. That said, if you do find a way to create a more "advanced search" UI page, I suspect it would be nice to donate back to DSpace -- it sounds like at least one other institution is interested in this as well...and if there's two of you, there may be more.
