hi,i would like to know if it is already possible when using Alfresco to search through the documents metadata (such as title, keywords, category, etc..) especially for Word and Excel document ?

Hi

We have support for this, but not all meta-data is being extracted. In the release about to go out today, we have an extractor (thanks Jesper) that takes the properties from office docs and populates the Alfresco properties - but not all are searchable through the UI currently (but you can do it in the API). This is one of the areas we expect to improve in the next cycle.

Cheers
Paul.

I am using web services to extract the content out of repository. I am able to do the content search using properties of the content. However I would like to do a search using

Category

. Is it possible using web services? Can you please tell me how to do it.

Thanks,
