</p>
<p>Hi everyone,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Just some quick technical notes on search...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As you know, ArchivesSpace uses Solr for search indexing. It's pretty flexible, so you can always configure it to do things like use a specific operator or boost certain field values. You can see the documentation to do this here: <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>ArchivesSpace uses the generic /select request handler, which you can edit in the solr_config.xml ( <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/solr/solrconfig.xml" id="NoLP">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/solr/solrconfig.xml</a>
)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here's the documentation on how to do that: <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SearchHandler?action=show&redirect=StandardRequestHandler<br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtendedDisMax" id="lnk415503">https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtendedDisMax</a> ( used in most queries to AS ) <br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrQuerySyntax" id="lnk648261">https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrQuerySyntax</a> ( used in some of the advanced searches )<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Currently, you can do use operators like "AND", "OR", "NOT", wildcard ( using * ), and fielded search ( "title:vard") in the search box. Or you can use the Advanced Search box.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The LCNAF plugin is querying OCLC's service, so it is not being handled by ArchivesSpace's solr, and there is a ticket for it here =><br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/68863168" id="lnk668409">https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/68863168</a><br>
</p>
<p>The query was not optimal, so we have done some work to improve it. This will be included in the next release, or you can upgade your plugin now using the code in github ( <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins/lcnaf" id="NoLP">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins/lcnaf</a>
) <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>best, chris. <br>

<div>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></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></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></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Is this the intended behavior?</span>
