So, after a bunch of testing on our end, I can pretty much decidedly
say "I have no idea what's going on."
Every night at 3:00am or so our server reboots, and following this
reboot our nightly scripts run. They have typically run filter-media,
index-all, and the subscription mailings. We have tested removing the
filter-media section of the nightly script and running the index-all
as root during the script, in case there was some permissions error
taking place.
I ran Luke on our server and checked out the index. Interestingly,
the etd_disc index was not available to search against. When I
manually ran (as root) index-all in the dspace/bin directory and
reloaded the index in Luke, etd_disc was now there.
What I don't understand is that the index is clearly being re-written
every night, but the etd_disc index is not being created. This makes
no sense, because the nightly script just runs the same index-all
that I run manually.
Any ideas?

Shane,
That is odd...
Have you double-checked all your log files, to make sure you're not
getting any errors underneath after performing a search? So,
checking the [dspace]/log/dspace.log and your Tomcat log file (e.g.
[tomcat]/logs/catalina.out)
If there's nothing strange in the log files after a search, you may
also want to rerun your 'index-all', and check the logs after re-
indexing (to make sure the indexer isn't running into strange issues).
If nothing strange is happening in your logs, the next step you
could take is to see what Lucene (underlying DSpace search engine)
is actually indexing underneath. A good tool for this is Luke
(http://www.getopt.org/luke/). You can point Luke at your [dspace]/
search/ directory (where the DSpace Lucene Index is), and it will
tell you all the documents you have indexed, and let you perform
some basic browsing or searches directly against Lucene.
However, I will admit, Luke does not have the *easiest* interface
to understand. You'd mostly want to look at the "Documents" tab,
to see all the documents Lucene indexed, and see if you can browse-
by your custom field.
Hopefully this gives you a few more things to look at. Let us know
if you figure out what is going on!

I'm still at a loss...

Hi Shane,
if this is a cut'n paste of your changes you simply got a typo
there,
> search.index.13 = edt_disc:thesis.degree.discipline
should be
search.index.13 = etd_disc:thesis.degree.discipline
sunny greetings

I am having issues with my search results when using the
advanced search in our archive. I have added the "thesis"
metadata schema to handle ETD documents, and these documents
work great normally. I have edited the dspace.cfg to add:
search.index.13 = edt_disc:thesis.degree.discipline
Following that, I edited the advanced.jsp in <dspace-source> to
add the appropriate element, with the following section in each
of the three search box areas:
<option value="etd_disc" <%= field1.equals("etd_disc") ?
"selected=\"selected\"\"" : "" %>><fmt:message
key="jsp.search.advanced.type.etd_disc"/></option>
And then added in the appropriate element in
Messages.properties, rebuilt, reindexed and all that.
The field appears correctly, but when searching for terms that I
know are there, I get no results. Additionally, a strange thing
happens when no results are found that does not happen with any
other search field - all 3 search boxes switch to "Degree
Discipline" (the term I used in Messages.properties). This is
just something I noticed that may help in a diagnosis.
I'm not certain if I'm missing something or not, but I would
really like this search index to function correctly.
