Query for Custom Metadata

[donalith]

I've created a custom metadata tag called documentStamp and it keeps a text value.

If I search by @cm\:created: [date range] my result set contains 9 documents. Each of those documents has a documentStamp value.
For example:

name: "{http://www.mycompany.com/documentmanagementsystem/model/dictionary/0.9}documentStamp"
value: "00126354382"

But when I try to run:

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "@cm\\:documentStamp: \"00126354382\"" I get an empty result set.

What do I need to run to hit these custom metadata tags?

@cm need to be replaced by the @ followed by your prefix in your custom content model.
ex.  @custom
Also you need to specify the store in the searchparameter object you will be using later on to fire that query.

Thank you! That worked but I had to change the query language to FTS-Alfresco. I couldn't seem to get it to work in Lucene.

[mitpatoliya]

That should work for lucene as well.
have you tried your query in the node browser?

[donalith]

Thank you, yes, it DOES work in Lucene once I've modified the query to escape the characters necessary. I'm all set now.
