Search through subspaces within a space...

[sri]

Hi,

I'm absolutely new to Alfresco and Lucene.
Could someone please tell me how to search through all subfolders within a folder (all subspaces in a space).

Was trying to run Query2.java in SDK Webservices sample by modifying the sample code as follows:

Reference reference = new Reference(STORE, null, "/app:company_home/cm:App1/cm:SP1/cm:Doc2\"");
Predicate predicate = new Predicate(new Reference[]{reference}, null, null);        
Node[] nodes = repositoryService.get(predicate);

Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE,"+PARENT:\"workspace://SpacesStore/"+ node.getReference().getUuid() + "\" +TEXT:\"" + searchValue + "\"");

This worked fine and returned all files within Doc2 folder which matched the search text. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Inorder to search through all subspaces within "Subprocess1", I tried the following but did not succeed…

1. Reference reference = new Reference(STORE, null, "/app:company_home/cm:App1/cm:Subprocess1//*\"");

2. Reference reference = new Reference(STORE, null, "/app:company_home/cm:App1/cm:Subprocess1/@cm\":name:Doc*\"");

3. Query query = new Query(Constants.QUERY_LANG_LUCENE, "+PATH:/app:company_home/cm:App1/cm:Subprocess1//*\"+TEXT:\"" + searchValue + "\"");
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Please help!!

Hi,

but did not succeed…

Did you get some error message that could help us finding the problem ?

By the way, tests 1) and 2) can't work : you should give a path as third argument of Reference, and not pattern.
Test 3) should be OK if you add a space before +TEXT.
A good practice is to test queries with node browser when they don't work "programmatically".

Hi,

I'm trying to use OpenSearch for searching through subspaces within a space……

How and where can I define the path where the following query will be executed??

http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/api/search/keyword?q={searchTerms}&p={startPage?}&c={count?}&l={language?}

Looking foward to your help…

Thanks in advance
Sri

The OpenSearch specification does specify restricting search to folders. To answer your question, you can't restrict it to subspaces using OpenSearch.
