Hi

The default template is only used when you do not specify a field.
So if your query specifies fields it will not use the template.

5.1 exposes filters in the query API - which would be a better, cached solution than adding it to the query.
However, we do not have the concept of fixed filters in Alfresco.

Solr does allow you to add default parameters to the query handler configuration in solrconfig.xml.
You can edit the /afts query handler and add "fq" = "<your filter query>"
There are already some default parameters in there.
You could do this for /cmis too.

Interesting solution, thanks Andy!

I ended up overwriting the templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/slingshot/search webscripts.
