[Dspace-general] problem with search in a collection that documents have been mapped to from another collection

[Anthony Popowicz]

Dear DSpace Community:

We added a number of documents to a community/collection and later on 
created another community/collection to which we item mapped some 
documents from the original community/collection.

When we do a global search we find the documents (probably in the 
original community/collection). If we search for a word in the title at 
the community/collection level  in the original community/collection we 
find documents but when we do a search on the same word in the title at 
community/collection level  in the new community/collection we not find 
documents. However, if one browses to the new community collection and 
browses on titles (via titles in the collection search box) the 
documents are listed properly.

Example:  Admin/IT/Polices is the original community/collection that 
holds Policy documents. Policies/IT is the new community/collection 
created and "Policy One", "Policy Two", and "Policy Three" where item 
mappped from Admin/IT/Polices to Policies/IT.

Admin
    IT
       Polices
           Policy One
           Policy Two
           Policy Three

Policies
    IT
        Policy One
        Policy Two
        Policy Three 
   

It seems that search at the collection level for those documents "item 
mapped" from the original community collection does not follow the 
mapping or "link".

What are we doing wrong?

Thanks.

tony
