[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Query re search functionality - ArchivesSpace 3.1

Tue Dec 14 08:22:59 EST 2021

I don't think user preferences affect the drop-down displayed when you 
start typing. That's hardcoded to sort by title (I agree that relevance 
would be better.)

You could try prefixing with a Solr index field name. For example, to 
only list resources which have the word /cheese/ in their title, not 
elsewhere, enter /title:cheese/ in the Resource field/./

/
/

How many hits you get back will also be influenced by the value of 
/AppConfig[:solr_params]/ in your config.rb file. If your system isn't 
set up with 'q.op' => 'AND', or 'mm' => '100%', then the more terms you 
add the more hits you'll get. You can add + or - to terms to specify 
whether they must, or must not, be present for a record to match. For 
example /+title:tennis -title:golf/ will list only records with titles 
containing the word /tennis,/ excluding any whose titles contain the 
word /golf/.
