Hello,

I've created a custom attribute for blog and document and media portlet.
In the search portlet, i want to search the entries which have the custom attribute containing a keyword.
I did find any solution...

Any idea ?

Thanks for advance,

You have to use the lucene searcher and search "web_content/YOUR-ATTRIBUTE-NAME".

I don't have right now an example to you but you can find it on the web.

Thanks for your help but i don't find any example....

The search portlet use this code :
Indexer indexer = FacetedSearcher.getInstance();
Hits hits = indexer.search(searchContext);

LuceneSearcher is used or not ?

I'm sorry, I was thinking in other thing.

¿You have an expando attribute?

Here's the code used to search :
SearchContainer mainSearchSearchContainer = new SearchContainer(renderRequest, null, null, SearchContainer.DEFAULT_CUR_PARAM, SearchContainer.DEFAULT_DELTA, portletURL, null, LanguageUtil.format(pageContext, "no-results-were-found-that-matched-the-keywords-x", "<strong>" + HtmlUtil.escape(keywords) + "</strong>"));
SearchContext searchContext = SearchContextFactory.getInstance(request);
searchContext.setAttribute("paginationType", "more");
searchContext.setEnd(mainSearchSearchContainer.getEnd());
searchContext.setStart(mainSearchSearchContainer.getStart());
Facet assetEntriesFacet = new AssetEntriesFacet(searchContext);
assetEntriesFacet.setStatic(true);
searchContext.addFacet(assetEntriesFacet);
Facet scopeFacet = new ScopeFacet(searchContext);
scopeFacet.setStatic(true);
searchContext.addFacet(scopeFacet);
List<FacetConfiguration> facetConfigurations = FacetConfigurationUtil.load(searchConfiguration);
for (FacetConfiguration facetConfiguration : facetConfigurations) {
Facet facet = FacetFactoryUtil.create(searchContext, facetConfiguration);
searchContext.addFacet(facet);
}
Indexer indexer = FacetedSearcher.getInstance();
Hits hits = indexer.search(searchContext);

But i don't know where insert the code you give me in the previous thread.

If you keep your custom attribute property 'Searchability ' as 'As Text' or 'As Keyword', then search portlet will automatically search your blog entries or documents in this custom attribute also.

Goto Custom Fields > and Edit your custom field to change this property.

Or do you have other specific need?

My custom attribute is already searchable.

My need is :

i create document or blog and i give a value to the custom attribute.
i go to the search portlet. i hook it adding a dropdown list with possible values for custom attribute.
i want search document or blog containing the keyword put in the text field but results must have custom attribute with value selected in dropdown list.

i hope it's comprehensive.

I will suggest you to check the implementation of the facets in search.

For a quick management of your custom attribute to behave like tags and category facets,
- open the configuration of search portlet
- select the advance mode
- change the json format setting and add following to the facets:
{
"displayStyle": "asset_tags",
"static": false,
"weight": 1.6,
"order": "OrderHitsDesc",
"data": {
"displayStyle": "list",
"maxTerms": 10,
"frequencyThreshold": 1,
"showAssetCount": true
},
"className": "com.liferay.portal.kernel.search.facet.MultiValueFacet",
"label": "expando",
"fieldName": "expando/custom_fields/custom_field"
}

here custom_field should be your custom field name.

Now when you will search "for ex if you search for test"; then a facet block will appear 'Any expando, etc'

Similarly you can check this implementation in search portlet to tune it for your need.

Thanks for your reply.

Gaurav,

i've put the code you give in the advanced search.
in the query, i can see that the search is also done in my custom field.

can i force the value of the custom field and put the search as "andSearch" to search documents contain keyword and custom attribute has a forced value ?

Thanks for advance,

Finally,

i've found solution to meet my needs. i force the value of the custom attribute as keyword in a hook of the search portlet.

Code :
searchContext.setKeywords(searchContext.getKeywords() + " AND " + "expando/custom_fields/my_field:" + my_value);

The end user continues to see only keywords entered in the input text but the search results are those expected.

Thanks a lot for all replies.
