Hi Allen, That's an interesting solution I hadn't thought of. Thanks!

To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Hi Platt, Without rewriting the dspace source, there is a way to make any field you like become searchable. The solution is to add the information into a metadata value. In the IR I am managing I created a metadata tag to describe the item type, so that we could filter out thesis having full -text or abstract-only or TOC-only. A little changes to the config file is needed if you wish your advanced search options to include your custom metadata tags. Allen Lam.
