This is something that I'm seeing in my local repository, but can also reproduce in the demo site. I figured I'd check before submitting a bug report.

If you search for a term (like "schools"), you get some results: https://demo7.dspace.org/search?query=schools 

Let's say you go to the 7th page of the results: https://demo7.dspace.org/search?query=schools&spc.page=7

From that page, if you type a new term into the search bar ("All of DSpace") or the magnifying glass search at the upper right, DSpace will repeat the search -- but will hang on to whatever page you were at:

For example: if you search for "kittens", it will search to see whether DSpace has a page 7 for "kitten" results, and it will tell you that there are no results.


But -- if you go back to the homepage, and then search for "kittens", then you *do* get results: https://demo7.dspace.org/search?query=kittens

Is this a known bug? I don't see it on the Github site, but figured I'd check before I submitted a ticket.

Thanks,
Paige

Hi Paige,

If you are able to reproduce odd/faulty behavior using the demo site, then I always recommend just creating a bug ticket (in https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues).  If it's failing on demo7.dspace.org, then that is usually a positive sign that a bug exists.

So, this does look like a bug to me.  Could you create a bug ticket for us?  That way it's tracked and we'll work to get it assigned/scheduled.

Thanks,

Tim

Hey community, did anyone fix this bug? it is still persistent in DSpace 7.6. I can't find any bug ticket in the official repository in Github. 

SMM.

Hi,

This bug is no longer reproducible on our Demo Site (https://demo.dspace.org), so it appears to have been fixed.  I'm not sure which release it was fixed in, but the demo site currently runs 8.1 (but most fixes in 8.1 were also backported to 7.6.3).  So, you may wish to upgrade if this bug is still impacting you.

Tim

Hello community, 

We managed to solve this issue for 7.6.1 version thanks to this Github Ticket: 
Fix to Pagination position is retained between searches #2159 by hugo-escire · Pull Request #2463 · DSpace/dspace-angular · GitHub
