You have to encode the string in the PATH token using the ISO9075 encoding.
In Javascript you can use a specific method that you can invoke from the search object, in the following way:


var queryEncoded = search.ISO9075Encode("/app:company_home/cm:Customer_Care/*");
var results = search.luceneSearch(queryEncoded);

Hope this helps.

Thank You so much for your reply OpenPj

You may misunderstood my problem: LucnenSearch does not work if the folder name contains blank space.
and I figured out that in the luceneSearch path, replace the space with "_0020_", then it works!!!

Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
I have exactly the same problem, i need to do a lucene search in a specific space… When the name (of the space) contains whitespace i get no results. I tried to escape the whitespace with \ but it doesn't help.
For example:
Everything works perfect for spaces like: Applications, Sites, Archive - PATH:"//cm:Applications/*"
When search in Customer Documents or. Guest Home i get no results…. - PATH:"//cm:Customer Documents/*"
Thanx for help!

Lol

I had to use ISO9075Encode, but like this: PATH:"//cm: search.ISO9075Encode(Customer Documents)/*"

As openPJ and grob has said you should use the ISO9075 encoding when using lucene searches in javascript.

On the other hand, the underscore shouldn't be a problem to that, so it may be that you'll have to reindex your lucene indexes. For that purpose edit the alfresco-global.properties file and uncomment the next line


index.recovery.mode=FULL

then try it again.

Hope it helps…
