Hi, What version of DSpace are you using?
The most recent versions of DSpace (4.x and 5.x) both use Discovery (based on Solr) for searching. This means they actually perform weighted/relevancy searches. So, if you search on multiple words, items which have both words (essentially an AND) will appear at the top of the search results. More info on Discovery is at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Discovery Discovery has existed in DSpace since DSpace 1.7, but it was disabled by default for some time. Starting in DSpace 4, it is the default search and browse engine for DSpace. If you are not yet using Discovery, you may wish to consider enabling it as it sounds like it may meet your needs. If you are using Discovery, you actually can force a "boolean AND" by simply entering two words with "AND". For example: * test AND document - would only return items that have both "test" and "document" * test document - would return all items that have either "test" or "document" but the ones that have *both* would appear at the top of the results. Good luck! - Tim On 2/11/2015 2:42 PM, Xerio Cheri wrote: > Hi, > > It has been proposed by our staff to change the way DSpace searches > terms on XMLUI.
