However, the problem is that the search returns nothing! Why is this? I can find the documents using the solr/lucene search syntax but it is really user-unfriendly and I would like my users to use the search forms rather than esoteric aspect:name:query formats. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here is the snippet added to share-config-custom.xml file:</SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="AdvancedSearch"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

From what I can see above (and I have only scanned your code) you should get a form in advanced search that would let you search on any of the metadata properties in your aspect for documents of type hr:docs. However you have not indexed any of this metadata so I am far from sure you would be able to find it in an advanced search. I may be wrong on this as I have never tried "Advanced searching" on a non indexed metadata fields so anyone elses comments would be an education to me as well.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If you are assuming you can search for documents with the aspect of hr:metadata (regardless of the metadata items contents) then I do not beleive that this is possible via advanced search, you need the "hasAspect" type query which I do not believe it will do through advanced search forms by clicking search on a balnk form for example. I think it will search on a given set of metadata and whilst this inherently means it must "have the aspect" it is the metadata that is the search not the aspect.</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:44:27 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/customized-advanced-search-by-aspects-not-returning-results/m-p/282973#M236103 rjohnson 2013-08-31T09:44:27Z Re: Customized Advanced Search by aspects not returning results https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/customized-advanced-search-by-aspects-not-returning-results/m-p/282974#M236104 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I think you need to refer this post.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>You need some trick to make it happen.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/alfresco-share-development/share-aspects-and-advanced-search-02062013" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/alfresco-share-development/share-aspects-and-advanced-search-02062013</A></BODY></HTML> Sat, 31 Aug 2013 19:02:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/customized-advanced-search-by-aspects-not-returning-results/m-p/282974#M236104 mitpatoliya 2013-08-31T19:02:42Z
