Hi Tim, Thank you for your response. I am sure that there have been many improvements made to Dspace and Solr over the version updates and appreciate the effort of the devs.
I looked a bit deeper into the search results from both 5.8 and 7.3. It seems that the search finds the keyword in the thesis text. However, I found an item where the keyword is mentioned once in the text and the search found it. However, I also found a few items where the keyword appeared once or more times in the text that 7.3 did not find but 5.8 Where possibly this can be looked into to resolve the issue? The number of items is similar and the items looked to be migrated successfully. I have successfully run the full reindex commands found in Step 4 of the migration doc: # Reindex all your content in DSpace ./dspace index-discovery -b # (Optionally) also reindex everything into OAI-PMH endpoint ./dspace oai import Please help. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
