search, query syntax?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Is there a description of the query syntax used for the text search?

I found this link:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html
but it does not seem to be fully implemented…

e.g.
"word1 +word2"
will work, but not:
"word1 AND word2"

We do not directly expose all Lucene search syntax functions in the search text fields within the web-client UI. We believe this would be much too complex for an average user - we are already converting something as simple looking as:

apple +orange
‍‍‍

into:

(@\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\}name:apple* +@\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\}name:orange*)
(TEXT:apple* +TEXT:orange*)
‍‍‍‍

You would not want to type all that into the search field

Currently we support "+" for AND and "-" for NOT, with no operator being the OR default. You can also configure the search in the web-client to assume AND by default instead of OR if you prefer to see less results when you enter multiple terms. We also support quoted phrases e.g. "apple orange".

Thanks,
