topic Search not following folder links in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/search-not-following-folder-links/m-p/296480#M249610 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am using FTS search to search for nodes based on the properties passed. I noticed that search does not follow folder links. I tried passing the folder link type (ie. TYPE:"app:folderlink") to the query. It still retrieves only the folder node given its name - does not search by other properties. Is there any way I can make it follow the folder link and search for documents within the folder link by properties.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any help would be great!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Deepa</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 23 Feb 2015 05:52:00 GMT deepacp 2015-02-23T05:52:00Z Search not following folder links https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/search-not-following-folder-links/m-p/296480#M249610 Hi,I am using FTS search to search for nodes based on the properties passed.

It is only a symbolic link not a hard link when we use the analogy of file systems. The only way to make the folder contents searchable is by replacing the folder link with a seconday child association to the Folder. Any object in Alfresco can be multi-file and multi-filing works with path based searches.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 23 Feb 2015 09:37:56 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/search-not-following-folder-links/m-p/296481#M249611 afaust 2015-02-23T09:37:56Z Re: Search not following folder links https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/search-not-following-folder-links/m-p/296482#M249612 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks you very much!
