Hi there,

How would one search in a particular folder and the children thereof making use of the findByContent,findByKeywords and findByName methods.

Do you mean make search in a folder? This feature is not implemented actually.

Can I not use the findBystatement and use the XPath query to search in a particular folder. If possible can someone help me define the XPath query to do this.

Yes, of course. I was thinking in the Web User Interface. With XPath you can make powerful search.

Thanks, do you have an example of using XPath query that would do what I am looking for? I would really appreciate this.

In DirectSearchModule.java you can see how the XPath is constructed.

Thanks I will have a look

Hi there,

I have the following code which is supposed to search folder \"denzil\" which is a subfolder of the root folder (okm:root) for doc\'s that have keywords \"document\". However the search returns 0 records, when infact it should return 1 record. I would appreciate it if someone could assist me.

Best Regards

String username = \"denzil\";
String searchText = \"document\";

String search = \"/jcr:root/okm:root/\"+userName+\"//element(*,okm:document)[jcr:contains(@okm:keywords,\'\"+ searchText + \"\')] order by @jcr:score descending\";

I have make a test and works fine. Which version of OpenKM are you running?

Thanks I managed to sort out the problem, I added the following \"[1]\" to the query string. I read the JCR specification, they give great examples explaining the use of XPath for JCR.

String username = \"denzil\";
String searchText = \"document\";

String search = \"/jcr:root/okm:root/\"+userName+\"[1]//element(*,okm:document)[jcr:contains(@okm:keywords,\'\"+ searchText + \"\')] order by @jcrcore descending\";

I don\'t understand why you have to add this \"[1]\" ¿?
