Can you provide the form configuration for your advanced search? I have seen issues where the form configuration included some fields that implicitly restricted the search results and confused the user/customer similar to what you described...

Many thanks Axel Faust

My configuration is:

<advanced-search>

<content-types>

(...)

</content-types>

<custom-properties>

</custom-properties>

<forms>

<form labelId="search.form.label.cm_folder" descriptionId="search.form.desc.cm_folder">cm:folder</form>

<form labelId="type.search.form.property.doc" descriptionId="Search for Properties Documents">propertyMetaropertyDocType</form>

(...)

</forms>

</advanced-search>

</config>

And forms definitions like:

<forms>

<form>

<field-visibility>

</field-visibility>

</form>

<field-visibility>

</field-visibility>

</field>

<control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>

<control-param name="showSubCategoriesOption">true</control-param>

</control>

</field>

<control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>

<control-param name="params">aspect=cm:taggable</control-param>

<control-param name="createNewItemUri">/api/tag/workspace/SpacesStore</control-param>

<control-param name="createNewItemIcon">tag</control-param>

</control>

</field>

</field>

</appearance>

</form>

</forms>

</config>

You have quite a few custom properties there - are some of them d:boolean (checkbox-like) properties or have a list of values constraint (drop down box)? These are the most common types of properties that can cause the advanced search to filter more than intended and leave the result empty while a simple search finds the intended documents.

Yes i do not have booleans but several constraints.

Can you provide me some example/ trick to avoid the empty result?

Why can I get the nodes without any problem in the advanced search if I update using alfresco share, even using this configuration?

I have the same problem. A custom type derived from cm:folder with few fields with list of values, una date field and an integer field. How should I use advanced search?

I googled for an answer without success....
