That's good to hear, Tim. I was mistaken about "Browse by" still using Lucene. Recently I found some metadata out of date on our DSpace instance, and it turns out I had to re-activate the Lucene indexing cron jobs which I had disabled after upgrading to DSpace 4.x last year. But actually this was for one of our third-party modules, not "Browse by".
Now to pressure the developer of the third-party module to update to Discovery. ;) Regards, Alan On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 5:29 PM Tim Donohue <tdono...@duraspace.org> wrote: > Hi Alan, > > In recent versions of DSpace (4.x and above), Discovery does *both* > Browse and Search.
