Hi everyone,I've been going through the documentation regarding the search functionality in Share, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so here I am.When I type something in the search bar, the results displayed by default are the matching entries in the sites. My question is: Is there a w

Hi Alex,

share search provides different below options to configure search. You can check - share-config.xml

From below options "context" is set as default option.

   none - disable repository wide search option
   context - search depending on current context, including repository, all sites, current site (default)
        always - always search full repository no matter what the context, disables search context options

<javascript>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Search">
      <search>
         <!– default minimum length for search terms –>
         <min-search-term-length>1</min-search-term-length>

         <!– default maximum number of results for a search –>
         <max-search-results>250</max-search-results>

         <!– Repository search configuration option –>
         <!–
              The 'repository-search' config element value can be one of:
              none - disable repository wide search option
              context - search depending on current context, including repository, all sites, current site (default)
              always - always search full repository no matter what the context, disables search context options
         –>
         <repository-search>context</repository-search>
      </search>
</javascript>
And I think to limit search specific to any folder, configuration is not available, you need to customize script.

Hi,

Thanks for your input. I already saw this file, and unfortunately it doesn't change the search the way I want.

I guess I'll keep looking.

I would like to default the search to display the Repository hits first, and if a user wants to click on All Sites they can. This is my first time using Alfresco, and I'm working with version 4.2e. I'm not a programmer, but would it be possible to change the line to read:
sharedfiles-search>context/shared-search , or something of that nature?

I also wish to set the search default to Repository, and even to disable completely the "all sites" search.

There is a bug that was reported: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-10369, I don’t know if it was / will be fixed on any Community 4.2…

I’ll try and work this around.

No. 4.2 is no longer current. It was fixed in 5.0.a
