public class SimpleSearchServlet
extends DSpaceServlet

Servlet for handling a simple search.

All metadata is search for the value contained in the "query" parameter. If the "location" parameter is present, the user's location is switched to that location using a redirect. Otherwise, the user's current location is used to constrain the query; i.e., if the user is "in" a collection, only results from the collection will be returned.

The value of the "location" parameter should be ALL (which means no location), a the ID of a community (e.g. "123"), or a community ID, then a slash, then a collection ID, e.g. "123/456".
