SORL Indexing Customisation in DSpace 7 and 8
Ben Parkes
Hello,
I am trying to better understand the DS7/8 search result indexing and stop full text searching in an instance of DS7.6.
I believe stopping full text indexing and searching is done by either setting the full-text <field> indexed and stored parameters to "false" or by commenting the whole <field> before rebuilding the index.
My issue is that in my instance I have a use case where I the search results are not displaying in the desired order. We have dc.identifier storing a code (ENLI10199 for example). When searching for this code the results will return items where fragments of this code string are present ("10199" for example, see attached images) before items where the full code is present in the metadata or full text.
This behaviour is different to the DS6 instance I am upgrading where searching for "ENLI10199" returns a list of items where only this full string is present in the metadata and does not return items where there are only fragments of this string (again see attached images).
What is desired is that the search results list will always (and if possible, only) display items where the string "ENLI10199" is present like the results produced by the DS6 instance.I am assuming something has changed in the way DS7 indexes and returns search results that is producing the differences identified.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if there is a way to do this in the config (as I assume it is done in DS6 as we haven't done any development work to produce these results to that instance)?
Thanks,
Ben
