Search for property values

buurd

Hi!

I'm trying to search for property values (not content) using javascript. Is it possible?

The usecase is a searchform where the values of dropdowns should be filled with actual values used for that property. As far as I can se right now it is only possible to find content (eg documents and spaces).

Thanks in advance
Roland

That should be no problem at all since the javascript api supports all kinds of searches. You just have to construct an appropriate query. For example a lucene query with the keyword ALL:"dog" will find all nodes with metadata properties containing the word "dog".

The problem is that the query you described will return ScriptNodes, not a list of metadata-values. That means that if I ask for all people that have created a document (cm:creator) I will get all documents in the system instead of the 100 authors.

Right now I loop trough the thousands of hits and add the authors in a hashmap to remove the duplicates and get the list of authors. But it is very slow an will only get slower the more documents I get into the system. Imagine a system with a couple of millions of documents and have to read the properties of every document to get the information you want.

Thanks in advance
