Re: [EP-tech] Ask about search result and reindex

Hi Agung,

If you are using the database (i.e. eprint__rindex) table, then I wrote the following (rather hacky) Bash script to test this:

https://files.eprints.org/3065/

The script will ignore items whose metadata visibility is not set to show.  It is worth manually checking you database for item you expect to be able to find in search but cannot to see if the metadata_visibility field has been changed.  If you create new versions of items this will automatically set the current (now old) version to hide.  (This is a far from ideal situation but it is quite difficult to determine a better way to ensure users only find the latest versions, especially when the "New Version" button gets used in the wrong circumstances).

If you are using a Xapian index, (e.g. typically used for simple search), then I did write a different script for this but it is a lot more complex to deploy.

Regards

David Newman

Hi,

Sometimes there are items that don't appear when I do a search, even though they are in the repository. But after I did the command: epadmin reindex [archive_id] eprint [item_id]
As a result, these items can appear in search results.

Is there a way to find out the item IDs that have not been indexed so that we can reindex the item IDs?

Thank you.

Agung Prasetyo W.
