[Dspace-general] what elements do you index?

[Platt, Alice]

I'd like to get some general feedback from the DSpace community. What elements did you choose to index for searches in your DSpace instance?

It struck me today that indexing date:dc.date* [all the dates] is not a good idea, because the date accessioned will also be returned when someone searches for a date --  a result that would be useless to virtually all users. I'm thinking I might be missing other search nuances, so any feedback about what others are doing is appreciated.

Using DSpace 1.5.1 Manakin.
