Simple Search custom content model not working

[dmurphy]

Hey there,
I've looked through the forums to find how to get custom content models to be able to simple search, and none so far have worked. I've come in to this job after someone else has set up alfresco, with very little knowledge of web development.

Version: Alfresco Explore community 4.2.0

I've tried what is shown at the bottom of this link:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Customisation_FAQ#Adding_Properties_to_Simple_Search
As well as:
http://de.slideshare.net/alfresco/alfresco-search-internals
from slide 19. Both of these were found via searching through the forums.

anyways here's the code:
Model:

search.get.config.xml: I don't think this is in the right place, since a forum post indicated to place it in a path that doesn't seem to exist on the server.

<search>

Edit: Accidentally put in old version of search.get.config

Are you checking Alfresco share? Because above changes will add your custom properties to Alfresco explorer.
For adding it to Alfresco Share you need to do entry in share-config-custom.xml

Sorry Should have mentioned, yes we are using explore, not share.
