Hilas,
Welcome to the DSpace community! You've already got a few good answers to
this question. I'm writing to suggest another resource for other
customization questions. The DSpace 1.4.2 How-To Guide is a 55-page PDF
freely downloadable from
http://hdl.handle.net/2142/1043
Page 18 gives a very similar description to Claudia's, and there are other
very readable "how-to's" for other common tasks.
Hope this helps!

Hi Hlias,
in order to make change the search index and change the advanced search
(latest stable release) you must perform changes in:
- [dspace-source]/config/dspace.cfg
- [dspace-source]/jsp/local/search/advanced.jsp
- [dspace-source]/config/language-packs/Messages.properties
E.g. adding a search index for "affiliation"
1. Edit [dspace-source]/config/dspace.cfg
2. Set/Change a search indices
A search entry in dspace.cfg:
search.index.1 = author:dc.contributor.*
Example adding a new field:
search.index.2 = affiliation:dc.creator.affiliation
(supposing dc.creator.affiliation is registered via metadata registry)
The config entries got the general form:
search.index.[number] = [name]:[metadataschema].[element].[qualifier]
3. It might be necessary to change the advanced search
[dspace-source]/jsp/local/search/advanced.jsp
in order to use new/changed indices in the advanced search, e.g.:
<select name="field1" id="tfield1">
...
<option value="affiliation" <%= field1.equals("affiliation") ?
"selected=\"selected\"" : "" %>>
<fmt:message key="jsp.search.advanced.type.affiliation"/>
</option>
</select>
You must perform this change for field2 and field3, too.
4. Please check that the tags needed are in
[dspace-source]/config/language-packs/Messages.properties|, e.g.:
jsp.search.advanced.type.affiliation = YourMessage
5. Rebuild and Reindex your system
hope that helps
