Introduction
The search page can be customized in terms of filters. For the purpose of customizing search page an ontology has been defined.
Ontology
The ontology is presented below.

Filters
An example of configuration search page filters is provided below. It includes one filter group with four filters. The first filter is range filter and enables filtering by start and end date. The second and third filters enable filtering by organizations and persons, respectively. The last one is filter which enables selection of publication years. The first filter is not public, therefore it wouldn't be seen by visitors, i.e. not logged in users. The listed configuration is default one present in the VIVO codebase by default, and it can be customized for the specific need of a VIVO instance. Moreover, there are also a couple more filters defined in the Vitro codebase by default.

Role based search filtering
Besides defining whether some field is public or not, the VIVO customers can define SelectQueryDocumentModifier for filters which can include typeRestrictions and selectQuery. In this way some restrictions for searching can be defined. Moreover, it is possible to define role-based search results filtering. For instance, it is possible that only a certain type of results can be displayed for a certain role. The listing below presents configuration which is showing only instances of Continent class for public, admin and self-editor.

Sorting
The options for sorting search results can be also customized. The default configuration enables sorting by title ascending, by title descending, and by relevance. However, it is possible to extend list of fields for sorting. For instance, sorting by dates can be added.
