The main /search page previously returned all DSpace object types (items, collections and communities), matching the backend `default` discovery configuration. In v7 only items were shown there. Add a reusable `forcedDsoTypes` input to the (themed) SearchComponent that forces the given DSpaceObject types onto every search request the component makes, and set it to items only on the main search page. Community and collection results are therefore hidden from /search, while other search pages (MyDSpace, admin, browse, scoped configuration searches) are untouched. Clearing SearchPageComponent.forcedDsoTypes restores the previous behaviour, and the input can be reused to expose this as a facet/config later.

Problem
On the main /search page the result list shows all DSpace object types — items, collections and communities — because the backend
defaultdiscovery configuration indexes all of them. In v7 only items were shown on the search page.Verified against the live v9 dev backend (dev-6):
configuration=default→ 2373 resultsconfiguration=default&dsoType=item→ 2348 results (25 collections/communities filtered out)Fix (frontend only)
Add a reusable
forcedDsoTypesinput to the (themed)SearchComponent. When set, thoseDSpaceObjectTypes are forced onto every search request the component makes (they map todsoType=query params on the RESTdiscover/search/objectscall), regardless of the discovery configuration.The main search page sets it to items only, so community/collection results are hidden from
/search. Facets/filters are driven by the discovery configuration and are left untouched, as are all other search surfaces (MyDSpace, admin search, browse, scoped configuration searches).Why this shape
SearchPageComponent.forcedDsoTypesrestores the previous "all types" behaviour.dsoTypein the URL still wins (the force only applies when no dsoType is already present).Changes
shared/search/search.component.ts— new@Input() forcedDsoTypes; injected into the combined search options (so results and CSV export stay consistent).shared/search/themed-search.component.ts— thread the input through the themed wrapper.search-page/search-page.component.{ts,html}— setforcedDsoTypes = [ITEM]on the main search page (shared by base + custom theme).shared/search/search.component.spec.ts— test that the configured types are applied.Testing
