Dear Mike,

I have tried the link which you sent to me. I got the error while i tried.
What i did is siply write a .js file as follows:

// check that search term has been provided
if (args.q == undefined || args.q.length == 0)
{
   status.code = 400;
   status.message = "Search term has not been provided.";
   status.redirect = true;
}
else
{
   // perform search
   var nodes = search.luceneSearch("PATH:/Company_Homeata_Dictionary/*" + args.q);
   model.resultset = nodes;
}


and using the "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/blog/search?q=books" to access the webscript. I dint get any output with this.

What exactly i need is, lets have 3 workspaces inside the "company home" space named namespace1, namespace2, namespace3 . I need the contents inside the namespace1 to be displayed with respect to the keyword i give in the url ("books" in this case). The contents from the namespace2 & 3 can not be displayed even these have the same named content inside it.

Kindly clarify this mike.

Thanks & Regards,
Elavarasan.

Hi all

Kindly help me out in the below issue……… i am struggling a lot.

i am using the following script to search with in the specific namespace (That is under company home space there is a space called Test, Test is my target search namespace).

// check that search term has been provided
if (args.q == undefined || args.q.length == 0)
{
   status.code = 400;
   status.message = "Search term has not been provided.";
   status.redirect = true;
}
else
{
   // perform search
var nodes = search.luceneSearch("PATH:\"/company_home/Test\"TEXT:" + args.q);  


   model.resultset = nodes;
}

But when i searching the content i got the result from the other namespaces also……….

Kidly help me out in this issue…………

Thank you friends……….

Lucene searches OR the terms - you need to add a + in front of each one so the behaviour is AND instead.

Out-of-the-box webscripts are a great resource for learning about Lucene search queries, as is seeing what the JSF Web Client generates from the Advanced Search UI. See http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=8677 for tips here.

Thanks,

Hi friends

I have tried with the below code to search on the specific space. As Mr.Elavarasan said it brings  all the contents irrespective of the name space which i gave. It doesnot pointing to the path which i set.
var nodes = search.luceneSearch("PATH:\"/company_home/Intranet\"TEXT:" + args.q);


If i use the below query also i am getting the same result as i got from the above.
var nodes = search.luceneSearch("TEXT:" + args.q);


When i give '+'  before the path it displays nothing.
var nodes = search.luceneSearch("+PATH:\"/company_home/Intranet\"TEXT:" + args.q);


Kindly clarify this one.

Its very urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Vinoth.

Turn on lucene query debugging, it is a very efficient way of learning how to form queries
log4j.logger.no.akofs.constraints.LuceneSearchBasedListConstraint=debug

In your case
var nodes = search.luceneSearch("+PATH:\"/company_home/Intranet//*\" +TEXT:" + args.q);
might work, not sure of your intentions with the query.

Oops, sorry, wrong debug line
this is the one I intended to paste

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.web.bean.SearchContext=debug
