Advanced search on custom-properties

redbull — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:10:48 GMT

Hi,I'm trying to use "advanced search" on some custom properties.But when I use the plus operator "+" to find more values in the search results it doesn't work!This is the web-client-config-custom.xml section:<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Advanced Search"> <advanced-searc

In a Lucene query, the plus operator is used to specify that the search query term is mandatory. So searching for:
+@cm\:description:"Dallas" +@cm\:description:"Chicago"

is equivalent to:
@cm\:description:"Dallas" AND @cm\:description:"Portland"

In your case, you are not using Lucene syntax, you are searching in Explorer's advanced search form in a specific field. The code that turns that form into a search query does not know how to convert your list of terms into the Lucene syntax that you need (one of the examples above).

So if you really need to be able to specify multiple values for a single field on the advanced search form, I think you may have to customize the web client.

Try to change the web-client-config-custom.xml and add this:


   <config>
      <client>
         <!– set this value to true to enable AND text terms for simple/advanced search by default –>
         <search-and-terms>true</search-and-terms>
      </client>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

By default, this condition is set to "false".
