scope search by community

[Bill Tantzen]

In DSpace 7.4, is it possible to search within a community/collection from that community/collection page?  Or is the only option to go to /search page and scope by community/collection there?

That's how it appears to me, but I want to make sure there is not a configuration that I am overlooking.

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

At this time, all searching functionality is via the /search page... so, you are correct, there's not currently a way to start a search from the Community/Collection homepage.  However, you can easily scope a search to a Community/Collection from the "/search" page.

If you or anyone else wanted to look into adding a searchbox on the Community/Collection homepages, I don't believe that'd be too complex.  The search within Community/Collection functionality already exists & works, it just isn't yet hooked up to a searchbox on each Community/Collection page.
