Search on custom property not returning results

heisenberg — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:08:39 GMT

I had modified the stock contentModel.xml by adding a custom property "mycustomprop1" to cm:content as follows: <type name="cm:content"> <title>Content</title> <parent>cm:cmobject</parent> <archive>true</archive> <prope

Hi Heisenberg,

For that, you will have to mention the name of your custom property, i.e "cm:mycustomprop1" in 'search.get.config.xml'.

The mentioned file can be found under file path {server_path}\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search\search.get.config.xml

In this file, you will see set of properties which are used for searching.

Anshu, I'm not using the Alfresco UI, so the webscript template configuration does not apply in my case. I'm interacting with Alfresco NodeService, FileFolderService, and SearchService programmatically, i.e. Java-only through the SDK.

Hi Heisenberg (or I have to call you Walter White? )
First of all you have to know that modifing the out of the box contentModel is not a good practice, it's better to use a custom aspect.
However,assuming you know what are you doing, you can try doing a full reindex because of the existing system nodes still apply the old model.
Have you tried to query a standard property like cm:name? Does it work?
Looking at the node browser you can see your property with the correct type and the correct value?
