Joseph, At a quick glance, it looks like your titles are not being indexed properly. I visited the DSpace "Advanced Search" feature on your site:
http://irserver.ucd.ie/dspace/advanced-search When I select the search type to be "title" and enter in *any* word from any existing title in your system, I always seem to end up with "no results". This implies to me that it's likely your title fields are not being indexed at all. By default, DSpace always indexes titles, so maybe you've customized the "search.index.*" settings in dspace.cfg? Specifically you should have this line: search.index.3 = title:dc.title.* You might want to double check your "search.index.*" field to ensure that the proper title field is listed (assuming you are storing your titles in "dc.title", the default should be fine). You also should not have any duplicate numbers in your settings (i.e. there should not be two 'search.index.3' settings). If this all looks correct, you could also try and look more closely at what is being stored in the Lucene (which DSpace uses) search indexes (in [dspace]/search/ folder). The best way to look at these indexes is using a Lucene tool called LUKE. There's a link to it, and a small guide on our Wiki page about "Developing with DSpace" (under "Useful Tools"): http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Guide_to_Developing_with_DSpace Hopefully that gives you a few things to look at. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but is seems to have to do with your titles not being indexed. Good luck. Let us know if we can be of further help. - Tim On 2/1/2010 9:18 AM, Joseph Greene wrote: > I've had a few queries recently about DSpace not being able to find items. > I've re-indexed and restarted DSpace but to no avail.
