I didn't try this, but if this aspect is applied to one or more person nodes you should be able to query for your property using the FTS field notation explained here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Full_Text_Search_Query_Syntax#Fields

Hi Arnold,

Thanks for your all help.

I know how to query FTS in Node Browser and find the property. Even I have used those queries too.

But I want to search custom property from the SHARE's People Finder.

Please guide me if you have any idea in this regards.

Thanks!

There should be no reason why you can't do this:

namespaceroperty:value
e.g.
cm:location:london

The search engine is assuming the "cm" (default Alfresco content model) namespace for the properties which is why it is not required for the standard properties on a Person.

However, there is a small bug in the person search implementation that I found while trying this out with a custom property.

I have fixed the bug and will commit it shortly to 4.0.2 and Community HEAD.

Unfortunately currently without this fix it is only possible to search for Person properties in the default Alfresco namespace.
