You answered your own question :wink:

No, currently the only way to search within a particular folder is to go to the advaced search page and select the space you want.

Hi Gavin,

Is this feature going to be implemented down the road? This seems like a rather popular feature people use. If this is not going to be implemented, implementing it wouldn't be hard would it? I just need to pass the path as an argument to the advance search screen?

Thanks for your reply,

Justin

I don't believe there are any plans to add this feature, but feel free to raise this as a new feature in JIRA and it will certainly get considered.

You could modify r:simpleSearch component to add an option to just search within the current space. Have a look at org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.UISimpleSearch
