confused on search '+cm:' or '+@cm' ?

[lucille_arkenst]

In order to search metadata I believe one is to do it like this:
var results = search.luceneSearch("+@cm\\:title:\" + args.query + ");

But, shouldn't I include the PATH first?
Also, why is it "@cm"?  Shouldn't it be simply "+cm:" ?

Please help.

Cheers

If you dont include a "path" statement, the complete repository will be searched. If you do include it, only content within that path is searched.

the @ sign is needed for properties, so it's needed for your search on cm:title.

Good luck!

Thanks, that's good to know.  Could you please advise me what book or link you found that out from?

Cheers!

I looked at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search but it does not explain where the search defaults to.

Search "Finding nodes by text property values" and "path Queries" from the link.

Hi everybody,

We would like to finding nodes by a text property value. The problem is that these nodes are made from a custom-type model, so looking at the wiki we have to put on the query something like this:

+ @cm\:userName:"manager" ‍

.

At this time we have a query that get the all the contents of that custom-type model of a concrete folder:

PATH:"/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:folder-name/*" + TYPE:"name-prefix:name-type" ‍

It works!:

Results (5 rows)
Name   Node   Parent
service.log   workspace://SpacesStore/4832fd96-a82a-4420-a60d-39aaf28062a2   workspace://SpacesStore/e7ab3e0a-4077-4f39-879d-e1c7f8747109

…/…‍‍‍‍‍‍

We thought that the problem is in the @cm so we put instead  @name-prefix:name-type this is, the name of the custom-type model that we have, but this didn't work…

Anyone could we help us?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,

Finally we solved it in this way:

//TYPE
var type = "+TYPE:\"prefix:name\"";

//Field
searchingField = "+@prefix\\:nameOfTheField:" + "\"" + fieldValue + "\"";

//Run search
var searchResult = search.luceneSearch(path + type + searchingField);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thank you and hope it helps,

Luis
