Note

In EPrints 3.3, only simple and advanced search configurations will work by default. See EPrints 3.3x Changes to Searching

Simple Search

$c->{search}->{simple} = {
        search_fields => [
                {
                        id => "q",
                        meta_fields => [
                                $EPrints::Utils::FULLTEXT,
                                "title",
                                "abstract",
                                "creators_name",
                                "date"
                        ]
                },
        ],
        preamble_phrase => "cgi/search:preamble",
        title_phrase => "cgi/search:simple_search",
        citation => "result",
        page_size => 20,
        order_methods => {
                "byyear"         => "-date/creators_name/title",
                "byyearoldest"   => "date/creators_name/title",
                "byname"         => "creators_name/-date/title",
                "bytitle"        => "title/creators_name/-date"
        },
        default_order => "byyear",
};

Advanced Search

$c->{search}->{advanced} ={
        search_fields => [
                { meta_fields => [ $EPrints::Utils::FULLTEXT ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "title" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "creators_name" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "creators_id" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "abstract" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "keywords" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "subjects" ] },

                { meta_fields => [ "divisions" ] },

                { meta_fields => [ "type" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "department" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "editors_name" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "ispublished" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "refereed" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "publication" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "date" ] }
        ],
        preamble_phrase => "cgi/advsearch:preamble",
        title_phrase => "cgi/advsearch:adv_search",
        citation => "result",
        page_size => 20,
        order_methods => {
                "byyear"         => "-date/creators_name/title",
                "byyearoldest"   => "date/creators_name/title",
                "byname"         => "creators_name/-date/title",
                "bytitle"        => "title/creators_name/-date"
        },
        default_order => "byyear",
};

Search by Email

Searching by email can be the best way to get publications by an individual. To add this functionality to the advanced search simply add this line:

                { meta_fields => [ "creators_id" ] },

creators_id is the database column name that contains the email address.

Adding fields to the staff search

In EPrints 3.3.10, additional fields can be added to the staff search:

$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Staff::EPrintSearch"}->{params}->{extra_fields} = [
        { meta_fields => [ "institution" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "id_number" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "documents.embargo_indefinitely" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "documents.date_embargo" ] },
];

This should be added to a file in the config directory e.g. ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/plugins.pl.

In EPrints 3.3.12, the default config for a staff search is in ~/lib/cfg.d/eprint_search_staff.pl:

# Any changes made here will be lost!
#
# Copy this file to:
# archives/[archiveid]/cfg/cfg.d/
#
# And then make any changes.

$c->{datasets}->{eprint}->{search}->{staff} =
{
	search_fields => [
		{ meta_fields => [qw( eprintid )] },
		{ meta_fields => [qw( userid.username )] },
		{ meta_fields => [qw( userid.name )] },
		{ meta_fields => [qw( eprint_status )], default=>"archive buffer" },
		{ meta_fields => [qw( dir )] },
		@{$c->{search}{advanced}{search_fields}},
	],
	preamble_phrase => "Plugin/Screen/Staff/EPrintSearch:description",
	title_phrase => "Plugin/Screen/Staff/EPrintSearch:title",
	citation => "result",
	page_size => 20,
	order_methods => {
		"byyear" 	 => "-date/creators_name/title",
		"byyearoldest"	 => "date/creators_name/title",
		"byname"  	 => "creators_name/-date/title",
		"bytitle" 	 => "title/creators_name/-date"
	},
	default_order => "byyear",
	show_zero_results => 1,
	staff => 1,
};

This should be copied to ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_search_staff.pl and edited as necessary.
