Hi

PATH uses prefixes not full uris (as XPATH does).

This should solve your issue.

The PATH specifies the path to search in and it also is not escaped correctly (the '/' character in the http:// part needs escaping for instance - as you did in your original query attempt). You can use the short qname form to make it easier with less escaping, and then you'll want something like this:


Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "PATH:\"/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:Images/*\" AND @\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\}name:myimage.jpg");
‍‍‍

I think that should work.

Thanks,

Kevin
