Islandora Saved Searches

Introduction

Adds the ability to save searches on the Islandora SOLR index provided by the Islandora SOLR module.

Requirements

Installation

Enable the module and place the "Islandora save search" block in any region on the active theme. This block will only appear on results screens and allows users to save searches which will then appear at user/[uid]/islandora-saved-searches.

Configuration

There are two permissions associated with this, the "save islandora searches" permission allows users to see the "Islandora save search" block, view their saved searches in the "Islandora current users saved searches" block and access their saved searches at user/[uid]/islandora-saved-searches. The "administer islandora saved searches" permission allows access to any users saved searches.

Alternatives

The cwrc_workflow module provides a reports interface that has somewhat similar capabilities, in that it can create canned reports that are essentially saved searches, however, the interface for this is a little intimidating and not end-user friendly. This module is designed to be simple and end-user friendly.

The drupal sarnia and search_api modules provide a powerful alternative to the core islandora solr module, which can then be combined with search_api_saved_searches for a saved search solution, however, this would require not using the islandora solr modules at all.
