I'm sure that you can try to do this query in 2 steps:

Step 1
Find the right space (customPropertySpace="school"), in this way you'll get the nodeRef of the parent, with the following Lucene query:

@yourCustomPrefix\:yourCustomProperty:"school"‍

Step 2
Find all the content of the type1 as children of the previous nodeRef that you have found (parent), with the following Lucene query:

PARENT:"parentNodeRef.getId()" AND TYPE:"yourCustomPrefix:type1"‍

Hope this helps.

Thanks, can you elaborate a bit on how you would actually combine the two in lucene? Or some sample pseudo code.. ie?


var searchStr = "@sf\\:currentSchool:\"123\" AND (PARENT:"parentNodeRef.getId()" AND  ASPECT:\"{customModel.docType}docType\"";
documents = search.luceneSearch(searchStr);
