Searching based on the folder name

[patorjk]

How would I search based on folder name? I'm creating a dashlet that allows the user to search for folders. I've got a Share dashlet setup that's talking to an Alfresco web script, but my issue is that in the Alfresco web script, I'm not sure how to search just for folders. I've found I can search the path:

var node,
    item,
    results,
    items = [];

results = search.query({query: "PATH:*alfresco*"});

for (var ii = 0; ii < results.length; ii++) {

    node = results[ii];
    
    item = {
        nodeRef:        node.nodeRef.toString(),
        type:           node.typeShort,
        name:           node.name,
        title:          node.properties["cm:title"],
        description:    node.properties["cm:description"]
    };

    items.push(item);
}

model.items = items;‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Though that brings up much more than what I want. How would one construct a query to search for folders based on their name?

thanks,

Hi,

results = search.query({query: "PATH:*alfresco* +TYPE:\"cm:folder\""});

Or you might prefer:

results = search.luceneSearch("+TYPE:\"cm:folder\" +@name:\"*alfresco*\"");

That looks like it did the trick, thank you!
