Advanced Search using custom type retrieves no results

I have an Alfresco 4.2.c instance running in a WebLogic server. Solr is <em>not</em> being used in this Alfresco instance; just Lucene.I developed a custom model that defines only one type, which is a sub-type of cm:content‍. I followed all tutorials I could find to implement it… and it

If you are able to search in the node-browser as well then I guess the problem is not with the search engine.
In share when you search you have two option search in site and in repository.
There are chances you are not selecting the proper place to search.
Also are you getting any error in the logs?

When you are using alfresco with lucene, try to re-index or full indexing it will help to search content. For solr alfresco having scheduler running in background that will index the content but its not as quick. If you create content and quickly search will not sometime gives result in solr. Just check you have properly configured both.

The logs do not say anything wrong about the custom model loading, nor any problems during server restart. We searched in all available places (sites, repository), but to no avail looking in the custom model.

Curiously, if I search the

cm:name‍

looking in the custom type, no results are retrieved, but if I search for that same property in

cm:name‍

, documents are being retrieved.

We tried restarting the Alfresco server using full re-indexing, but the metadata-search-through-custom-type-in-Advanced-Search still exists. It's good to know Solr schedules indexing processes, though.

I'll provide a copy of the files used, in case someone can spot a mistake or omission in them.

I solved the problem. In the

share-config-custom.xml‍

file, the form id for my custom type was not

search‍

. When I changed that form ID to

search‍

, it worked. The custom type metadata can now be searched using Lucene, without Solr.

Thanks for your support!

Hi Ardamose,

Can you please share your share-config-custom.xml and your model changes.

Thanks Garvit
