I have also noted major concerns over the search behavior, and about six weeks ago I entered several users stories related to search. While implementing these would not solve all of the problems, I do think they would be a good starting point:

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">(Apologies if this has been answered before.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Now that I have more data in my test ArchivesSpace instance, I’m noticing things that I’m sure have been there all along and I just didn’t realize it. Is the search engine on ArchivesSpace set up as an “OR”
rather than an “AND”? Any multi-word search I do pulls up way more results than I would have expected, i.e. any record of any type that has any of the words included. (Perhaps this may</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">also be part of the reason that provided LCNAF plugin seems to be virtually unusable?)</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Since Google and its ilk have spoiled many of us,</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I’m sure I’m not alone in saying an “AND” search would be more useful.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I do see that I can use quotation marks or</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">“and” between search terms to further focus</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">searches for my own records (though doing so seems to have no effect on the LCNAF plugin). That’s definitely helpful.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Is this the intended behavior?</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Are more advanced search</span> <span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">
and faceting browsing</span> <span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">capabilities intended for</span>
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">near term</span> <span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">
