Search by Content Type

nikes

Hello all,

I have created custom content type "custom:Resume"

I have configured advanced search drop down box for Content Type, it is showing my custom content type also,
but when I select it and click search i get following message

Not enough information was entered to perform a search, at least one value must be entered or a location selected to search within. Text fields require a minimum of 3 characters.

I have uploadede documents with my custom content type, any idea why it is not displaying those documents?

Thanks,
Nikesh

The text formaly descripes your problem. For better performance and "search result quality" you shoult - at least - type in 3 characters to start a search. This is not a constraint only for custom-models but rather for all content-models!

well, what if I want to search all my custom type of documents?

Here there is nothing to type in search box, because if I type anything, it will return documents matching with that text only.

My requirement here is to find all documents of particular custom type.

Thanks for reply,
Nikesh

Hm thats a problem i guess. Well you could change web-client-config-custom.xml to decrease the amount of characters you must type in to query.

<config>
      <client>
         <search-minimum>3</search-minimum>
      </client>
</config>

But you can not change this to zero on the advanced-search-panel as alfresco will prohibit this query to execute.

You could write an extension to this with a query something like that: TYPE:"{http://myNamespace}myContent"

you can set this minimum int to "1", and type "*" in the search box.
If this is not good enough, you can override search process in order to run a "*" search if nothing has been entered in the search box

Thanks Cheffilet and JayJayECL for quick reply,

I decreased amount of chars to "1".
I tried "*" as well as "*.*" in search box and selected custom type from Content Type drop down,
but it returns zero result.

I think out-of box it is not possible to achieve my requirement.

So as per JayJayECL's suggestion last option is to override search process.

Can anyone tell me which method of which class I have to override search feature?

Is it like extending feature? or Modifying core Alfresco code and build from source?
