Search configuration

[harshad]

We have developed a custom content type with has its own properties. The value of properties takes only 2 characters (basically US states such as NY, CA, FL..) Advanced search on these fields fails stating error "At least 3 characters are needed for search".

I tried changing          <!– the minimum number of characters required for a valid search string –>
         <search-minimum>2</search-minimum>

in web-client-config.xml to 2 as given above. But I still get the same error. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Hi,

I just tried adding that setting to my 'web-client-config-custom.xml' file in the tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension directory and can search using 2 characters.

If I enter only 1 I get this message:
Not enough information was entered to perform a search, at least one value must be entered or a location selected to search within. Text fields require a minimum of 2 characters. So it's working for me.
