==Step 1 - Setup custom indexes==
Below are instructions to setup the default browse and search indexes in DSpace using the PostgreSQL DB.

<font color="red">'''If using SOLR for search indexes, then go to: [[SUNScholar/Search_Indexes|search indexes page]].'''</font>

Modify the following sections of the config file.
===Simple and Advanced Search Indexes===
Go to line  268 approx in the DSpace config file and modify as desired. 
<pre>
# search.index.<n> = <index name> : (dc schema identifier) * used as wildcard
### SUNScholar search indexes ###
search.index.1 = title:dc.title.*
search.index.2 = author:dc.contributor.author
search.index.3 = advisor:dc.contributor.advisor
search.index.4 = issuedate:dc.date.issued
search.index.5 = keyword:dc.subject.*
search.index.6 = type:dc.type.*
search.index.7 = provenance:dc.description.provenance
</pre>

===Browse Indexes===
Go to line 1125 approx in the DSpace config file and modify as desired.
<pre>
# webui.browse.index.<n> = <index name> : metadata : (dc schema identifier) : (date | title | text) : (asc | desc)
# webui.browse.index.<n> = <index name> : item : <sort option name> : (asc | desc)
### SUNScholar browse indexes ###
webui.browse.index.1 = title:item:title:asc
webui.browse.index.2 = author:metadata:dc.contributor.author:text
webui.browse.index.3 = advisor:metadata:dc.contributor.advisor:text
webui.browse.index.4 = dateissued:metadata:dc.date.issued:date:desc
webui.browse.index.5 = subject:metadata:dc.subject.*:text
webui.browse.index.6 = type:metadata:dc.type:text
</pre>
'''<option name> = <index name> as per "item" definition above.'''
<pre>
# webui.itemlist.sort-option.<n> = <option name> : (dc schema identifier) :  (date | title | text) : (show | hide)
### SUNScholar item lists ###
webui.itemlist.sort-option.1 = title:dc.title:title 
webui.itemlist.sort-option.2 = dateissued:dc.date.issued:date
webui.itemlist.sort-option.3 = dateaccessioned:dc.date.accessioned:date
</pre>
'''<u><font color="red">Please note: There are major differences between the default settings in the DSpace config file (dspace.cfg) and the DSpace help manuals.'''

'''See: [http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/images/8/82/Bi-config.pdf Browse index settings differences]</font></u>'''

===Author Listing Indexes===
Using "nano" modify the following section in the DSpace config file to suit your needs. The default as configured below is to list all contributors.
<pre>
## Set the options for how authors are displayed in the browse listing

# Define which field is the author/editor etc listing.  This should be
listed in the
# field webui.itemlist.columns, otherwise it will have no effect.
# This cannot be a field already marked out as a title or a date, as this
# will also have no effect.  This is used in conjunction with the
# webui.browse.author-limit field below, to truncate author lists.  For
# configuring links to author publication lists use webui.browse.link below.
# (This setting is not used by the XMLUI as it is controlled by your theme)
#
#webui.browse.author-field = dc.contributor.author
webui.browse.author-field = dc.contributor.*

# define how many authors to display before truncating and completing with
"et al"
# (or language pack specific alternative)
#
# Use -1 for unlimited (which is what will be used if this option
# is omitted)
#
# webui.browse.author-limit = 3

# which fields should link to other browse listings.  This should associated
# the name of one of the above browse indices with a metadata field listed
# in <webui.itemlist.columns> above.  The form is:
#
# webui.browse.link.<n> = <index name>:<display column metadata>
#
# Note that cross linking will only work for fields other than title.
#
# The effect this has is to create links to browse views for the item
clicked on.
# If it is a "single" type, it will link to a view of all the items which
share
# that metadata element in common (i.e. all the papers by a single author).
 If
# it is a "full" type, it will link to a view of the standard full browse
page,
# starting with the value of the link clicked on.
# (This setting is not used by the XMLUI, as links are controlled by your
theme)
#
# The default below defines the authors to link to other publications by
that author
#
#webui.browse.link.1 = author:dc.contributor.author
webui.browse.link.1 = author:dc.contributor.*
</pre>

===Recent Submissions Sort===
<pre>
#### Additional configuration for Recent Submissions code ####

# the sort option name (from webui.itemlist.sort-option above) to use for
# displaying recent submissions.  (this
# is used by the Recent Submissions system and any other time based
# browse query such as FeedServlet)
#
recent.submissions.sort-option = dateaccessioned
</pre>
