Work in Progress
The page is a work in progress.
This page is yet to be written.
EPrints has two main searches simple and advanced.
Simple search
Simple search by default provides a single text field for users to enter their search terms to search across a selection of different attributes of a publication. Typically this simple search will be included on repository's home page or as part of the template so users can conduct a search from any page. The simple search form can be found at:
http://EPRINTS_HOSTNAME/cgi/search/simple
If you want to generate a pre-canned search the search terms are sent under the "q" parameter, e.g.
http://eprints.example.org/cgi/search/simple?q=Biological%20Science
By default the publication attributes which are search over are:
- title
- abstract
- creators_name - Names of the authors of the publication
- documents - The full text of PDF and Word documents uploaded for the publication
- date - The primary date associated with the publication, typically the publication date.
This set of attributes can be modified by copying EPRINTS_PATH/lib/defaultcfg_zero/cfg.d/eprint_search_simple.pl to EPRINTS_PATH/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_search_simple.pl and modifying the meta_fields section in the latter file. Other search options such as search results ordering, paging and formatting can also be modified, see Search.pl for more details.
