A little up for this topic
I wanted to know if in version 3, this possibility improved : is it possible, now, to search with logical operators like "=", ">", "<" and logical terms like "OR", "AND", …Also, I wanted to know if it's possible to add logical terms like "OU", "ET", etc (I'm French and it could be useful for French companies to implements French terms, because users don't know search terms in English ^^).
As the search stuff is implemented by a specific API, I was just wondering if it was customizable ! The topics I found in the wiki aren't complete about that, or are in construction, as far as I know…

Thanks for your answers

This has not changed in the Explorer web-client. However in the new Alfresco Share interface you can use AND OR NOT with search terms.

In 3.2 we intend to implement a much more powerful query parser across all our clients - so better searching and consistent across the apps.

Cheers,
