Hi,
I believe this has been resolved.
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/10519/commits/8e88547932c9c0260c50307d7c90657182de45af
If you apply the changes to the two files, the browse function should
be working fine.
Best,
Jason

Hello Alex,
We are still working with our IT team to solve the problem, and we
do not currently have a solution. I will let you know when we
resolve the issue.

Hi Arpad,
I have a DSpace instance (running 7.6.3) that has the same
browse author behaviour that you are describing. Could you
please let me know if you have discovered the cause of this
(including if it was an indexing issue)?
Thanks so much,
Alex

Hi Arpad,
Considering this behavior doesn't occur on our demo site
(https://demo.dspace.org), which is running the latest 8.x
code, it does sound like it could be a possible indexing
or configuration issue on your end. If it was a bug in
DSpace, it'd be more likely to appear (or be reproducible)
on our demo site as well.
Have you tried a full reindex of everything? "./dspace
index-discovery -b"
I'd recommend trying that, and perhaps also paying close
attention to the backend logs *during* the indexing
process to see if you are encountering a large number of
errors. If so, those might be clues as to what is going on.
If you can find a way to reproduce this issue on our demo
site, that might also provide more clues. You are welcome
to even add some test content similar to your own content,
if you think it could be somehow specific to your
content/data.
I don't have any other ideas, but it does sound like an
indexing issue. Such an indexing issue might be caused by
a configuration problem, or possibly a local customization
(if you've made any), or maybe even something went wrong
in upgrading/migrating your configurations or
customizations from DSpace 7 to DSpace 8.

Hello Tim,
That's right, this is the proper behaviour, there are
no results because author names are unified (starting
with last names), and there is no author name starting
with "Kar..."
We are facing a completely different issue. As I wrote
in the post, it seems that the subject terms and
author names are stored in the wrong format in the
browse indexes.
Let me show you some examples:
*subject term in metadata (dc.subject field):
Adriai-tenger*
*subject term after filter results: adriaiteng*
This wrong form of the subject term shows in the link,
therefore, DSpace could not find the linked content:
https://digitalia.csfk.org/browse/subject?*value=adriaiteng*&bbm.return=1
The proper link should be:
https://digitalia.csfk.org/browse/subject?*value=Adriai-tenger*&bbm.return=1
(this link works just fine!)
*author name: Allodi, Pietro*
*filtered result after type "all" in the
"Browse/Search" box: allodi*
broken link:
https://digitalia.csfk.org/browse/author?*value=allodi*&bbm.return=1
the correct link would be:
https://digitalia.csfk.org/browse/author?*value=Allodi,
Pietro*&bbm.return=1 (works fine)
Global search (in the header or homepage) works perfect!
Any idea to fix this issue?
(Our database is not available to the public yet, only
for internal use.)
Thanks,

Hi,
I believe this may be a misunderstanding on how
the "Browse by Author" pages work in DSpace.
When you visit the Browse By Author page in
DSpace, you'll see all the Authors in the system
listed alphabetically by surname (last name). This
can be seen on the demo site:
https://demo.dspace.org/browse/author
The "Browse/Search" box on that page notes
specifically that you can "Filter results by
typing the first few letters". It is NOT a normal
search box, but rather allows you to immediately
filter that list of all Authors down to ones whose
surname begins with certain letters.
However, the *key point* is that box is expecting
you to type the author's *surname (last name)
first* , because that is how the authors are
listed in that "Browse by Author" page.
So, on the demo site, you can see that if you type
in "De" or "De Wael" you will *filter that list of
authors to only those whose surname starts with
that text.*
*
*
Therefore, typing "De Wael" in that box will
return two results: "De Wael, K" and "De Wael,
Karolien" See on the demo site:
https://demo.dspace.org/browse/author?bbm.page=1&startsWith=De%20Wael
<https://demo.dspace.org/browse/author?bbm.page=1&startsWith=De%20Wael>
However, if you instead type "Karolien", you will
receive *no results* because no authors in the
system have a surname of "Karolien" See on the
demo site:
https://demo.dspace.org/browse/author?bbm.page=1&startsWith=Karolien
<https://demo.dspace.org/browse/author?bbm.page=1&startsWith=Karolien>
Keep in mind, the global search page will act
differently however. If you type "Karolien De
Wael" in the global search (in the header or
homepage or search page), then you will get
results related to that author. For example, on
the demo site:
https://demo.dspace.org/search?query=Karolien%20De%20Wael&spc.page=1
<https://demo.dspace.org/search?query=Karolien%20De%20Wael&spc.page=1>
This is expected behavior in DSpace because the
"Browse by Author" page only searches for author
names (surname first) that *start with* that
text. But, the global search page will search
across the entire system for anything that matches.
I hope that helps to better explain the behavior
you are seeing.

Dear All,
We have some search issues on the browse
page using "search the repository' search
bar to filter the results.
Using the menu 'All of Dspace' > by
Subject > 'Search the repository', only
lowercase, truncated, and unaccented
subject terms are displayed, with broken
links (with the message 'no items to show')
E.g.:
*Adriai-tenger > adriaiteng*
*adatfeldolgozás > adatfeldolgoza*
The same issue occurs when searching for
authors on the browsing page. E.g.:
*Asztalos István > asztalo*
Using the "Search the repository" search
bar on the pages 'browsing by issue date'
and 'by title' works fine.
Could this be an indexing issue?
The links in the list of authors and
subject terms work fine. The issue only
occurs when we filter using the top search
bar on the browsing pages.
Dspace version: 8.0 (updated from 7.2)
Java version: 17.0.14
Could you please help solve this issue?
Any idea would be appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Arpad
