Purpose / why

This module Advanced Search provides improvements to the Islandora Advanced Search module.

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/digitalutsc/advanced_search to /var/www/html/drupal/web/contrib/
• Use drush en -y advanced_search to enable the module or enable it at /admin/module
• Disable Islandora Advanced Search if it's enabled before.
• Sample data can be used by ingesting with Islandora workbench, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DV0Ka0ZafZq3RgCn0x_AetFtlmnMuNFltzck2QL0ApY/edit#gid=994664908

What changes were made?

• This module is abstracted to a Drupal module instead of a sub-module inside Islandora Core and work independently from Islandora Core.

• Provides default and general css style for the Advanced Search Results block and List/Grid switcher based on the work completed by born-digital in their recently contributed Islandora-profile. I have tested the css with Olivero, Bartik, and Bootstrap theme.

  • Screenshot of the block with the submodule version:

• Adds support for dismax searching as optional feature that can be turned on and off in configuration. (as screenshots below)

• Adds support for wildcat searching as described in this document

• This does not implement edismax, which has known issues.

Proposal

• We would like to contribute back the additional features which we developed from our stack to this module. Therefore, if the module is tested and approved, it can be a replacement for the submodule version which is currently in Islandora Core. Also, the module can be moved to the foundation's github.
