You could…
In $TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\search\search.get.html.ftl
Whe define Alfresco.Search, the parameter initialSearchTerm, do the search within lucene, so you can add the "ALL:" at the begining, this will search in all metadata.

 ("${searchTerm?js_string}".length>0?"ALL:":"")+"${searchTerm?js_string}"‍

Then, in \webapps\share\components\search\search.js you must remove the "ALL:"
in Search_onReady() function:

// set initial value and register the "enter" event on the search text field
var queryInput = Dom.get(this.id + "-search-text");
queryInput.value = this.options.initialSearchTerm;
if(queryInput.value.length>4){
queryInput.value = queryInput.value.substring(4);
}         
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

you also must modify search-min.js

Test this please, i have another version of alfresco.

Hello all,

Alfresco 3.4.c in Ubuntu.

I have the same problem. Several doc (pdfs format). What I have discovered is that I can find strings from the first pages of these documents ( They have arounf 170p and I can find word in the 40-50 first pages).

I think there is a limit in the size of words searchable per document. Anybody knows how to modify this?

Thanks,
Luis R.
