Hi ,

I am using alfresco community version V5.1.0 (r127059-b7).

I want to customize the default search, i,e: want to search with the document properties.

Please help.

Hi Dileep,

If you just want to add custom properties or add more properties in search, follow below steps :

1. Locate "alfresco-share-services-5.1.f" jar located at  tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib

2. Copy search.get.config.xml at path alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search and place it in extension\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search

3. Edit search.get.config.xml file and add your custom properties to <default-query-template> tag

<search>
<default-operator>AND</default-operator>
<default-query-template>%(cm:name cm:title cm:description ia:whatEvent ia:descriptionEvent lnk:title lnk:description TEXT TAG)</default-query-template>
</search>

You can get detailed understanding on how this works at search custom properties?  

Let me know if this is not what you are searching for.

Thanks,

Kalpesh

Hi Dileep,

For any customization/extension in Alfresco, your changes should be in <<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension for repo customization and <<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension for share customization. Alfresco will read customization as long as it is available in classpath. This mean, these path could be available in your jar files located in your lib folders.

So, exact path for your case will be <<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search\search.get.config.xml

Thanks,

Hi Kalpesh,

I done that but it is not working.

Below is my search.get.config.xml file configuration

 <search>

      <default-operator>AND</default-operator>

      <default-query-template>%
      (cm:name cm:title cm:description cm:content my:authorisedBy CPatient_Name
      ia:whatEvent ia:descriptionEvent lnk:title
      lnk:description TEXT  TAG)
      </default-query-template>

      </search>

When i search CPatient_Name:Chandrika in the search box,  i am getting the result, but when i search only with the patient name  (Chandrika) search returns nothing.  Please help me.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Dileep,

For live search, you will have to follow the same instructions for live-search-docs.get.config.xml file.

So, copy 

1. Locate "alfresco-share-services-5.1.f" jar located at  tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib

2. Copy live-search-docs.get.config.xml at path alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search and place it in extension\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search

3. Edit <<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\slingshot\search\live-search-docs.get.config.xml file and add your custom properties to <default-query-template> tag

<search>
<default-operator>AND</default-operator>
<default-query-template>%(cm:name cm:title cm:description TEXT TAG)</default-query-template>
</search>

4. Restart Alfresco

Let me know if this works with you.

Thanks,

Kalpesh
