The problem was that if you did a search of a phrase (such as "Cornell University"), your search results would contain the word "Cornell" and the word "University". In effect, the search was ignoring the quotes and giving you an "OR" search instead of an "AND" search. Bram Luyten confirmed that this was happening on the demo site. I haven't heard anything since then, and I wonder if this is planned to be fixed. I have some users pretty upset about this and the complaints are making their way up my management chain :( Anyway help that I can get would be great! I filed a search-related bug report a little while ago (though I could probably have picked a better title): https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2699 -- this issue currently needs a volunteer. I wouldn't be surprised if what you're seeing is caused by the same thing, basically, somewhat overzealous escaping of special characters in the search (which was introduced to fix a bug I had unfortunately snuck into DSpace 5.2, which in turn was intended to fix issues with searching for phrases containing colons). Is the behaviour you're seeing limited to Mirage 2/XMLUI? cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
