Hi Koolalfdev,

did you get any solution for the issue - "indexing author sandbox"?
I am having similar requirement and don't know how to achieve it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

There seems to a standard solution (as described by Alfresco) available to Koolalfdev's problem -

get the links to news articles that a user creates from a user sandbox not staging sandbox; based on the most recent creation and expiration dates and types of news article

Our Problem:
We had to support previewing user sandbox (same as Koolalfdev's) and wanted to get the sandbox indexed.
But Alfresco does not currently support it, seems like they are working it, but no ETA: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ENH-279

Solution:
We had to go with one of the 3 solutions explained here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WCM_Preview#Preview_in_Alfresco_WCM

We chose to go with Test Server Deployment option and Previewing User Sandbox is working fine.
We can now search (using the webscripts) anything that's present in User sandbox but not yet submitted to Staging Sandbox yet.
