[EP-tech] About Browse view

[drn at ecs.soton.ac.uk (David R Newman)]

Hi Sonu,

1. Keywords browse view

I cannot be certain but I think the keywords field was originally added 
for allowing users to specify words that may not appear elsewhere in the 
metadata but that should be indexed, so it can be found in search 
results.? Therefore this field is free-hand text field and not suited 
for use as a classifier for a browse view.

If you want to do a keywords browse view, you will need to create your 
own multiple keywords field.? I would also advise, adding an 
autocompleter for this field so that users add the same keywords and 
avoid typos, that will be required editing the workflow to add the 
lookup script and then write this script in your archive's 
/cgi/users/lookup/.? You will probably also need to write a script to 
map the current keywords field into individual keywords, presumably 
using commas as a separator.

2. Search functionality

Without seeing your repository, I cannot tell if you have Xapian search 
indexing enabled.? If you have this enabled some of the features you 
describe [1], like quoting titles to limit the amount of search results 
so the item you are actually looking for appears near the top of the 
page.? If you do not ahve Xapian search indexing enabled.? You will need 
to reindex all items once you have enabled it.? If you have a recent 
(3.4+) version of EPrints, to enable this you will just need to make 
sure the appropriate Xapian OS packages are installed and then restart 
the webserver (then reindex all items).? On Debian/Ubuntu, these are:

libsearch-xapian-perl
libxapian30
xapian-tools (probably not essential)

Regards
