hi,

regarding your first question:

you can extend the simple search in alfresco in the web-client-config-custom.xml . add the description as search field:

<config>
      <client>
         <search-max-results>100</search-max-results>
         <simple-search-additional-attributes>
            <qname>
               {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description
            </qname>
         </simple-search-additional-attributes>
     </client>
</config>

A somewhat similar thing I am trying to do in Alfresco Share, but search on metadata field is not working.

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you
