Expected behaviour There are numerous issues with the search in Archivematica's Archival Storage, Appraisal, and Backlog tabs that make it very frustrating to locate items in storage.
According to the documentation, I should be able to search on all indexed metadata, including metadata from the METS - "The search index includes AIP names and METS contents. All METS metadata is indexed and searchable." This statement is not quite correct, as per #195; however, it's also unclear what metadata is being indexed and is searchable.
Similarly, it is unclear exactly which values some of the search facets (i.e. search by File UUID, File path, File extension, etc.) are targeting, which makes it difficult to get predictable results.
In other situations, the indexing seems to be working incorrectly. For example, you should be able to search by descriptive metadata. However, this doesn't seem to work at all for descriptive metadata added via the GUI, and it only sometimes works for metadata added via CSV - in one test, the provided title for one digital object was searchable, but the title of the other object in the same AIP was not (this was using the CSVmetadata transfer from SampleTransfers).
Current behaviour I've done some quick tests to figure out which searches work, and documented the results here. More testing and better documentation of tests is required.
Steps to reproduce See link to testing doc, above.
Your environment (version of Archivematica, OS version, etc) Most testing was done on 1.7.2, much of it replicated on 1.8 (bionic)
