Hi all,
I am trying to do a basic search query on the entire repository that
returns any node that has a sling:resourceType property and that has
a property/content that matches a search string.
If there is a match I need to get all the properties of that node and
an excerpt of the matched string.
I have the following xpath query who returns the correct nodes:
//*...@sling:resourceType and (jcr:contains(jcr:content,'*test*') or
jcr:contains(.,'*test*'))]
This query gives me the parent of the jcr:content node and all the
properties on it, which is exactly what I want.
Now, I thought I could get the excerpts out of the results by
appending /rep:excerpt(.) like so:
//*...@sling:resourceType and (jcr:contains(jcr:content,'*test*') or
jcr:contains(.,'*test*'))]/rep:excerpt(.)
But this doesn't give my a usable excerpt.
I thought a workaround might be to do the first query, and then create
another query where I OR all the uuid's and do a rep:excerpt in that
query, but that doesn't produce anything usefull as well.
ex: //*[(@jcr:uuid='ae1..' OR @jcr:uuid='..') and jcr:contains(.,
'*test*')]/rep:excerpt()
I can get a useable excerpt if I do the following query:
//*[jcr:contains(.,'*test*')]/(rep:excerpt(.))
I can't use this since this
a) doesn't allow me to search on just nodes who have the
sling:resourceType
b) returns all the previously versions of the node.
Should I run my first query above, check if it has a content and then
manually check if I can get an excerpt out of it?
Another problem I'm facing with excerpts is when I try to get an
excerpt out of a property/jcr:content with no (or almost none) content
around the highlighted word/phrase.
It seems to fill up the space by taking other property values of the
node.
Thanks in advance,
Simo
