FTS-Alfresco query language

The Records Search page provides a user interface for collecting the user search criteria for objects within the File Plan. The query is formulated using the FTS-Alfresco query language, where FTS stands for Full Text Search.

At the heart of the FTS-Alfresco queries is the Lucene search engine, but it provides richer constructs than what are available by just using Lucene.

Searching for a term

To search for a single word or term that is located somewhere within the file content of a record, the search can consist of just that word, much like a standard search engine. When the search is run, any property that is of type d:content, like cm:content, will be considered in the search. Consider the following example:

digital

This is equivalent to using the qualifier TEXT as a prefix to the search string:

TEXT:digital

Searching for a phrase

Phrases can be searched by using double quotes to enclose multiple words or terms. For example:

"electronic digital signature"
