LUcene query to search only in selected folder

dsnkostic — Thu, 12 May 2011 11:40:08 GMT

I am trying to write Lucene query where you can only search for contents in selected folder and not to go recursive in sub-folders.Here is an example so far… String queryStr = "PATH:\"/" + projectPath + "//.\" "; queryStr += " AND TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content\"";

Instead of using '//' use only one slash '/' and use '*' instead of '.'.
In your case: String queryStr = "PATH:\"/" + projectPath + "/*\" ";

You can find full documentation at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search#Path_Queries

Of course!
I didn't realized that Lucene uses almost same syntax as XPath. Thank you for your solution.
