Hi Josée,

for author searches, don't put the names into double quotes, but into brackets:

creators_name:(Noyer, Jean-Louis)

For datestamps, I'm not sure how they are indexed; in our case it just works with years:

date:2014

We have written a search help, http://www.zora.uzh.ch/help/ that details some Xapian options. Feel free to use what is usable.

Best regards,

Martin

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. -- Adam Field Business Relationship Manager and Community Lead EPrints Services +44 (0)23 8059 8814 On 27 Aug 2015, at 17:17, Lessard Josée wrote:
