Why does this hit searching the GUI, but not node browser?

rsosborn — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 16:43:40 GMT

I have an XML document with a node named "title". This query finds the document in the Search window.I'm getting no hits with it programmatically, or in the Node Browser search window. I am searching the "SpacesStore" and everything else I can find which would be identical."@cm\:title:"smith""

Hi,
Alfresco considers name and title differently.

If you want to search by name use @cm\:name:"smith"
If you want to search by title use @cm\:title:"smith"

If you want search content use TEXT:"smith"

Try above queries in NodeBrowser.

Thanks,

I understand what you're saying. This is my issue though.

I have an XML document with a node named "title". I want to
find this document only. (I.E. <title>John Smith's document</title>)

I can find this it easily with the Explorer search interface.
The exact same query (below) turns up nothing programmatically and in
the NodeBrowser, no matter which Store I search against.

I can't figure out what the difference in the two searches is.
I tried turning on the logging level to see if I can view the Explorer
query that is generated. Still I am getting nothing.

"@cm\:title:"Smith""

Looking at it, I believe it is because programmatically and in the NodeBrowser, Alfresco
uses the Searcher component. Maybe in the Explorer search GUI it is Xpath?
