Alfresco 2.0 Query for document properties

[sniza23]

Hi all,

I have trouble to use query for searching document.
I'm using  this…

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "+@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}title:\'my_title\"");
and it works fine but when I want to use WildCard search like this…

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "+@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}title:\'my_tit*\"");
it does not work. I will get response that document was not found. Is it problem of syntax, luciene or alfresco engine?

thanx

Hello, at first you can try to remove the " before and after your value. If this does not find your document, you can try to remove the + befor your search argument. Something like this:

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}title:my_tit*");

Hi

Wild cards in phrase queries are now supported. So your second example will work with the latest code.

For 2.0, in the second search example, the best you can do is tokenise the search yourself.

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "+@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}title:my \\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}title:tit*");

The down side is that the words could be in any order.
