Helo,
OJS 3 don’t have an advance search like ojs 2?
For ej. in OJS2 Additional Search Options
The new seach just show only one box or just limits authors or date? It’s to simple …
Maybe pkp is working in an advance search?
Thanks
Cecilia

Hi @ceciroz,

What kinds of additional advanced search options are you looking for?

Hi @asmecher

OJS 2 by clicking on advanced search offered the following search screen

I suppose you wanted to simplify, but if there is a way to activate some type of search, it would be good to know how to do it.

Thanks

Hi @PascualRico,

Try going to http://your-site.com/path/to/index.php/[journalPath]/search (replacing parts of the URL according to your installation).

Hi, @asmecher.
This is my old url: http://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/ojs/index.php/index/search/
and there has advanced search, like image:

Hi @matheusotoni,

I’m afraid that is the advanced search form. We’ve simplified it considerably – while it would be possible to add more fields to this without much work (since they’re still present in the database), our thinking is that we’ll never have as rich or complete a toolset as third-party search tools e.g. Lucene/SOLR or Algolia will have.

There’s an Algolia plugin for OJS here: GitHub - fostermadeco/ojs-algolia: Plugin integrating OJS and Algolia and the Solr/Lucene plugin is not yet ready for use but it will be here: GitHub - asmecher/lucene: Work in progress.

If anyone is still interested in having additional search fields to the advanced search similar to those in OJS 2, I have implemented that lately: OJS 3 Advanced Search with additional search fields (as in OJS 2)
