Search on property of custom type

phong_van

Dear everyone,

I've defined custom type (custom model) with some property

- mc:refNumber: d:text

-mc:customerName: d:text

-mcroductCode : d:text

When end-user create new document on custom type, he or she want to search on some property at custom type, I've try advance search with filter, but filter only allow property with type as number (not d:text).

Anyone can me some advices?

Many thanks!

Are you using the share simple search, the text field in the upper right corner?

If that is the case, then you wont get the result, as it does a search agains properties name, subject, description and the document's content.

You can find some information on how to change that behaviour in this blog post https://www.bluefishgroup.com/insights/ecm/adding-metadata-fields-to-simple-search-and-live-search-with-alfresco-5/

Filter does support properties with type d:text - if they have been configured in the data model to support faceting. You need to add the "facetable" element to the "index" section on a property and set it to true to tell SOLR to prepare the necessary index fields to support filtering.
