Sorry, I think that I have to make my question more understandable...

We have configured our search this way :

$c->{search}->{simple} = {
  search_fields => [
                     {
                       id => "q",
                       meta_fields => [
                          "documents",
                          "eprintid",
                          "title",
                          "creators_name",
                          "abstract",
                          "datestamp",
                                                    …

So all these fields should be indexed by Xapian

We have reloaded the config (epadmin), restarted Apache and reindexed our eprints.

But now we get two problems :

            1. We can't search by datestamp.

                        We tried "datestamp:2015-08-*", "datestamp:2015/08/*", "datestamp:201508*", ...
                        Nothing seems to work. We always get empty results.

                        Do you know what is the right syntax to do a Xapian search based in this field ?

            2. We can't search by creators_name

                        We can search by last name : creators_name:"Noyer"
                        Or by first name : creators_name:"Jean-Louis"

                        But we can't combine firsrt and last name :
                        creators_name:"Noyer Jean-Louis" or creators_name:"Noyer, Jean-Louis"
                        both  give and empty result set.

                        Do you know how to do such a search using both first and last name ?

Thank you for your help

Have you restarted the webserver?  Changes to the .pl files do not load automatically when the file changes.  You'll need to reload the configuration (/<eprints_root>/bin/epadmin reload [repositoryid]) or restart apache before the changes will be visible at the front end.

Hello,
I have two questions on research Xapian :
 
1.   How query the fields : datestamp ?
 
2.   How query the fields :  creators_name (name_family with name_given ) ?
 
 

We added fields (datestamp and creators_name)  in the file cfg.d/eprints_search_simple.pl and reindexed the database.
$c->{search}->{simple} = 
{
                    search_fields => [
                                         {
                                                             id => "q",
                                                             meta_fields => [
                                                                                 "documents",
                                                                                 "eprintid",
                                                                                 "title",
                                                                                 "creators_name",
                                                                                 "abstract",
                                                                                 "datestamp",
                                                                                 …
