Re: [Dspace-tech] possible to search for records with/without bitstream?
2009/10/27 Platt, Alice a.pl...@snhu.edu DSpace 1.5.2: Does anyone know if it is possible to configure the Advanced Search so that the records displayed can be narrowed down by the presence, or lack of, a bitstream? We may have several records without bitstreams, and it seems it would be very helpful for people to search “full text,” if you will. Hi, I don't think this is possible with the current DSpace search/indexing implementation. That being said, I think adding this feature (though I'd also add in restricted items and extend the feature also to include browse) would definitely make DSpace much more useful as a general purpose digital repository. I wonder if this could be one place where some of the features in DSpace 2.0 could be backported to? -- Timo Aalto Planning Officer University of Helsinki Library timo dot j dot aalto at helsinki dot fi -- Come build with us!

Re: [Dspace-tech] possible to search for records with/without bitstream?
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.

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