Open Search in properties?

nreau — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:19:05 GMT

Hello,According to what I read in wiki, with OpenSearch you can only search in name and content of a document.So I guess you can't search in properties (like description, author fields) with OpenSearch by default for now?Is it impossible? or is there a way to extend some config files to allow search

You can finetune the Alfresco search to use specific fields. There is no autoinclusion to keep up the performance. Check on the "simple customization tutorials and the "web-client-config-custom.xml" file.

Example from there :

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Advanced Search">
      <advanced-search>
         <content-types>
            <type name="my:sop" />
         </content-types>
         <custom-properties>
            <meta-data type="my:sop" property="my:authorisedBy" />
            <meta-data aspect="my:imageClassification" property="my:resolution" />
         </custom-properties>
      </advanced-search>
   </config>

@Norgan: thanks for your reply. I'm aware of the possibility of tuning the advanced alfresco search and i even did it.

My interrogation is about the possibility to use this advanced search remotely, that is to get results from this advanced search from another website.

So far I found the Alfresco Keyword Search 'webservice' which only allow to search a keyword into name and content.

Is it possible to remotely query the advanced search thanks to some webservice?

Many thanks,

Nicolas

Hi team,
This is interesting. Can any one did the customization for "Open Search" ?
If did, Plesase post the techniques here.

Yes please. Searching on the creation date would be nice.

I was considering modifying the webscript that runs this sevice, since lucene search can do this. But I first need to find it.
