Hi Renata,

if I'm not mistaking, it's not possible to influence the search behaviour
for specific collections/communities with out of the box configuration. So
this functionality will require some degree of customization.
Are you doing this in XMLUI or JSPUI ?

One way to tackle this problem (for example in JSPUI) would be to make your
own custom version of advanced search, offering search in those specific
metadata fields you want. But this is not exactly the same than really
altering the metadata fields that get used for simple searching.

best regards,

Bram Luyten
