Hi Aroldo, The "Advanced Filters" setting you are referencing is described in the documentation at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC9x/User+Interface+Configuration#UserInterfaceConfiguration-Searchsettings
I wanted to first clarify though that it's *not the same* as the "Advanced Search" options listed at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC9x/Search+-+Advanced The "Advanced Search" wiki page simply lists ways you can type in more advanced queries into the default searchbox, whereas the "Advanced Filters" are a way of adding more advanced filters into the search sidebar (which is what you are sharing screenshots from) That said, with the Advanced Filters, you can customize the list of filters in the configuration (see the first link above). However, the possible filters come from the *backend* and must be configured in the "discovery.xml". For example, the "Item Type" you see listed there is the "entityType" value in the configuration, which corresponds to the "entityType" search filter defined here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-9_x/dspace/config/spring/api/discovery.xml#L2639 So, to add new values, you'd have to define new search filters in that "discovery.xml" as described in the Discovery documentation at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC9x/Discovery#Discovery-ConfiguringlistsofsidebarFacetsandsearchFilters I do want to warn though that these Discovery configurations can be complex and time consuming to customize, especially since you will need to reindex your site to see any changes. Hopefully that helps!
