Adjust default search/quicksearch custom attribute

dhartford — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:20:59 GMT

Hey all,I'm currently trying to use the community edition (3.4.d) to see if it would be an alternative to a couple of existing solutions. Question on the Share piece: is it possible to change the default 'search' field (the quick search one) to include custom attributes? I got as far as http://wiki

Hello dhartford,

I have found the default query template definition hard coded on tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search/search.lib.js in line 22:


const QUERY_TEMPLATES = [
   {field: "keywords", template: "%(cm:name cm:title cm:description ia:whatEvent ia:descriptionEvent lnk:title lnk:description TEXT)"}];
‍‍‍‍

…and in line 799…


      // perform fts-alfresco language query
      var queryDef = {
         query: ftsQuery,
         language: "fts-alfresco",
         page: {maxItems: params.maxResults},
         templates: QUERY_TEMPLATES,
         defaultField: "keywords",
         onerror: "no-results",
         sort: sortColumns
      };
      nodes = search.query(queryDef);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I changed there (line 22) to achieve the same that you wanted, but I would like to see a solution less intrusive.

Hi Julio,

How can I do this customization in 5.0.c?

Thanks
