How to create search query in Share

[miroslav]

Hi, 

I created my own model and node type (mycustomtype). Now I would like to search according to these parameters via Share. I know how to create own form in advanced search, but  I would like to define a search query (and / or for individual properties).

Is it possible? 

Thank you.

Hi @miroslav 

I'm not sure if I understand your requirement fully, but this blog might be helpful.

Hi @EddieMay , thank you for reply! The blog is realy usefull. 

I will ask differently, is it possible to use filter queries in Share application like "cm:creator:user1 OR  cm:creator:user2"?

You can perform search strings in different syntaxes:

The most common is AFTS, that has a wide variety of operators:

Thank you @angelborroy , is it possible to execute this query in Share (live/simple/advanced)? I have two property and would like to achieve conjunction (OR). Something like this

Hi @miroslav 

Search tips shows you can search against such terms. It has an example of using 

creator:username

but creator:username searches against all nodes, including folders, etc.

This result looks like it searched for "admin" or "eddie" everywhere, including within document text, titles, etc.

Hi @miroslav 

You should be able to search for properties like so:

dc:company:Hyland

This will limit search against a single property (dc:company).

To test this I created a custom content type called Whitepaper (following this example). This has 3 properties, one being dc:company

I created a Whitepaper and added Hyland as the company. Search for dc:company:Hyland returns one result:

I also created a standard document & added the word "Hyland" in the name, title, body & description. Searching for "Hyland" returns only this document:

Searching for dc:company:Hyland or TEXT:Hyland returns both documents.

HTH,

Thank you, the problem was with solr indexing. You can enter FTS expressions in the simple search field and that's exactly what I need.
