Advanced Search Plugin

Nice macro. Is it possible to have an example using metadata / rate macro?

Is it possible:

If you have for example 5 pages with rate plugin, that are labeled = TEST.

to order these 5 ratings on a summary page? TITLE, AUTHOR, RATING (ordered by rating)

How to? Thanks.

I found the example in Dan's tutorial of how to create a NOT condition especially helpful:

{search-input:type=checkbox\|match=query\|value=label:( \+global?agency-home ) *NOT label:(* \+global?hidden )} Normal label "agency-home" but not "hidden" label

How can I create a similar effect without the checkbox?  What I'd like to do is (invisibly) place a condition on all searches run by the user so that items with a certain label are not returned--or at least not displayed.

We are still using Confluence 2.1.x. Is it possible to leverage this plugin in a confluence 2.1.x environment?

Here is the Error that I get when trying to install it

The following error(s) occurred:

• There were errors when uploading this plugin: com.atlassian.plugin.PluginParseException: Could not load class: uk.ltd.getaheadplugin.dwr.DWRServlet

Thanks

Can I restrict the search to one or more spaces?

Does anyone have a good example of the search-select option?

Can i display the author name of a page ? ...

The author paramater of search-result returns the name of the last modifier and not the author :/

Is it possible to have a NOT expression on the metadataKey field as well?

Just a quick question. Is it possible to limit the search to something specific, such as space labels or the spacedesc? Want to build a custom page using this instead of the general Confluence serach.

Cheers,

Paul. 

how can i search mails too with this advanced search plugin?

Nice plugin.

Someone asked for a search restricted by space, I just to add my interest for this option.

Thanks.

Hi, 

Just one request :

Can you add "attachments" in "types" of search supported ?

For the moment I can't see any answer about .doc .xls .pdf . ..... It's quite a problem.

Thanks for your help.

Régis 

Hi, I have a trouble:

I've installed the plugin. Confluence said in Administration->plugins that "Adaptavist Advanced Search
All modules enabled."

I type a tutorial search form macro (or another, more complicated macro) in my own page edit tab, then press "Save" and switch to view page tab.

But I see the submit button being ALWAYS disabled. So I can not press it to start search itself.

And Confluence log file "atlassian-confluence.log" contains the following lines:

2007-01-23 12:42:34,062 INFO [com.atlassian.confluence.lifecycle] contextInitialized Starting Confluence 2.2.9 (build #527)

So, does anybody know what goes wrong?

Sincerely yours,
Grigorio V. Moshkin,

Hello - I'm having trouble using the "NOT label" command.

I want the search to run and not consider pages which I have labeled "navigation" (since these are the pages that make up my navigation bar and do not have substantive content).  I tried to copy the example above, and wrote the command as:

{search-input:type=hidden\|match=query\|value=NOT label:navigation}

But, what this has done is stopped returning any results for (I think) any pages, even those without any labels whatsoever.  If I remove this line, I get search returns of both my navigation pages and all other pages.

What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for any help in advance!

-Audrey 

Also, another question (that I see above, but which was never answered) while I'm here:

 Searching attachments as well as pages & blogposts is not one of the "type" options, yet this is a functionality that the simple search has.  How can you utilize advanced search to also search attachments?

Thanks!

-Audrey 

Hi,

Any news regarding 2.3.3 compatibility ?
I can't even activate debug mode, the submit button cannot be clicked and when I push the Enter key on my keyboard I get no result. This plugin should be very useful to us.
I can't wait to see this plugin live ...

Thanks for your contribution.

Seb.

Hi,

I assume this is not compatible yet with versions 2.4 or 2.3 from the earlier threads...I'm seeing the searches fail under version 2.4. Hoping this gets resolved soon...

Thanks!

-Marc

Hello,
Is it possible that an older version of the advanced search plugin will work under 2.3?

thx 

Hello,

Is it possible to make Advanced Search work with Scaffolding data? For instance, I have a Scaffold form that allows users to select a country from a list:

*Country(s):* {list-data:Country|type=check|multiple=true}
{list-option:Canada}Canada{list-option}
{list-option:Germany}Germany{list-option}
{list-data}

Is it possible to have a search checkbox that pulls text specifically tied to a particular scaffolding list, as opposed to just doing a general text search?

Also, any update on the plugin working with 2.3?

Thanks!
Audrey

Does the standard search syntax apply for this plugin as described in the confluence user guide?

Here is my problem:

This query returns the results I expect

Query: type:( page blogpost ) AND label:( +global?Value1 NOT label:( +global?Value2 ) )

But when I change it to the following, All pages but the one containing Value2 are displayed:

Query: type:( page blogpost ) AND label:( +global?Value1 OR label:( +global?Value2 ) )

In addition, when I put Value2 first, only the page contiaing value2 is displayed and none containig Value1

Query: type:( page blogpost ) AND label:( +global?Value2 OR label:( +global?Value1 ) )

Am I constructing the query wrong or does the plugin not support "OR" logic?

I would also LOVE to see some functionality that would allow searches to be restricted to specific spaces, and sub-sections of heirarchy...

Our development team was able to hobble together a simple patch that appears to get this plugin working under Confluence 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. Caveat emptor in that there are still warning messages showing up in the log files, and some functionality doesn't appear to be behaving properly (see following comment). Anyways, hopefully this will help the community somewhat:

Has anyone had any success in using search-select with metadata? We're trying to populate pull-down selections from values associated with specific metadataKeys. As an example, suppose we have two pages that have a metadata key called "Threat"; one page has as its value "Missile" while the other has "Antiaircraft Gun". On a different page we have something along the lines of

{search-form}
{search-select:query=metadata|metadataKey=Threat}
{search-submit:Search}
{search-form}

{search-results:fields=title,author,|sortField=title|sortDir=desc }

We would expect a pull-down box with the options "Missile" and "Antiaircraft Gun" as selectable choices. Are we interpreting the search-select/metadata combination incorrectly?

Thanks for any insight

yes this plugin appears to be broken for 2.5.1+.  I specifically tested with 2.5.4 and get the same errors noted by others here.  The fix for 2.5.4 (at least) is applying the edits noted above by Keith Pimmel (May 25, 2007 09:19 post).

 Also noticed there's another bug in this plugin that appears to prevent you getting any search results if your query ends up being more than a single object type (e.g. page + blogpost vs. just page or blogpost).  The query it builds – "type:(page blogpost)" – is not a valid query from what I can tell.  It should be "type:(page OR blogpost OR ...)".  The fix for this (if you can rebuild the plugin) is, in SearchDWR.java, search for "Add the types" and change the code to:

            // Add the types
            queryString.append("type:(");
            for (Iterator iter = types.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
                 queryString.append(iter.next());                   
                 if (iter.hasNext())
                    queryString.append(" OR ");
            }
            queryString.append(" )");

And if anyone needs to rebuild this plugin using Maven2, email me if you want a valid pom.xml file -- dgoldstein (AT> leapfrog (dOT> [com]. (Might save you about 4 hours of banging your head against the wall with Maven2) The plugin source hasn't been upgraded to use Maven2.
 

Adaptavist will shortly be starting an upgraded version of this plugin. If there are any specific feature requests (yes, it will work on Conf 2.5.x) please reply here and we'll see if we can squeeze any in.

I'm doing a search on 2.5.4, and have gotten it down to just

{search-form}
 {search-input:match=query|type=text}
 {search-submit:Search for Your Issue}
{search-form}

and the submit button doesn't react. A check of the generated HTML reveals that the button is disabled. In fact, before I remembered to surround the form above with the {code} macro, it generated a disabled button in this comment.

(Oh, what the heck - why don't I just do it here to prove it?) The identical code, rendered by Confluence:

What gives?

(Note to those who may have seen this comment before I edited it to remove the backslash before the argument separator in the {search-input} invocation: That was placed there by the WYSIWYG editor; to make sure, I previewed it again before saving this time to confirm that the button is stiill disabled.)

Hi,

I am using the following code to search on Metadata using Advanced Search

{search-form:autoSubmit=false}
  {search-input:type=text\|match=metadata\|metadataKey=Project Name}
  {search-submit:Search}
{search-form}

{search-results:types=page\|fields=rating,author,title\!Content Title,space\|sortField=rating\|sortDir=desc\|debug=true}

I have the following metadata in one of the pages in the same space: -

{metadata-list:hidden=true}
\|\| ProjectName \| Project01 \|
\|\| Programme Name \| Programme01 \|
{metadata-list}

But the search does not work. It lists down more than 150 pages which contain "Project" in the page body. Whereas there are just two pages with the Metadata "Project Name".

Can anyone please help. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mohammed

As stated above, I would find it highly useful to have the capability of searching attachments as well as pages/blogs. Would this be something difficult to include in this plugin? Thanks!

Hi

I would like to use the advanced search macro to search the titles and actual content of pages. I am trying to search all content for a specific word, I want the results displayed in order of rating, and I want to have the rating displayed if it has been rated once or more.
Here is the search form I have created:

{search-form:autoSubmit=false\|hidden=false}
{search-input:match=query\|type=text}
{search-submit:Search}
{search-results:fields=title,rating,author\|rateThreshold=1\|sortField=rating\|sortDir=desc}
{search-form}

When I enter content to search on, an IE error is displayed stating "Null".

However if I replace the query with label, it works, however it only returns pages where labels have been added. I want the title and content to be searched.

I am trying to create a search to search a wiki page and its childpages (all are in the same space). Is this possible? For the life of me I have been going nuts trying to figure this out. Each time I try to serach, it searches the entire space. My company has multiple spaces, and I am creating wiki pages for "MyCompanySpace" which has a ton of organized departments, and I want a search that will search a specific child page and all of its children.

 Please help! I've been at this for days.

Hi,

I am new to this.

How do I create a meta data in a wiki page so that I can use the Search to find the page back?

Can someone give me an example? Thanks.

Regards,

Frankie 

Is there any way to get the date of the latest attachment added to a space as a search-results property?

I am sure I am overlooking something obvious...but how do I limit this to search only within a single space?

It doesn't seem to support "spacekey=X" which would be nice.

We want users of a certain space to have the search box front and center, and to have it only search that space.

Any suggestions?

I'll be helping run a wiki with about 600 internal users, and I'm trying to get things like the news search working and such.

I'd also like to be able to limit the search to a single space.

Is there any workaround for this if this functionality isn't available yet? Maybe using labels? Can I limit the search to just search news posts with certain labels on them? Any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance!

Does anyone know where the where the markup lives for Advanced Search panel that is used for 2.7x?  I'd like to shut of quicksearch() and use a modified version of Advanced Search embedded in space home pages instead. 

BTW Matt ---

I tried to limit confluence searches to  current space using the following trick:

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DISC/Limit+quick+search+to+current+space

Problem is that while this works, the bottom of the search results unhelpfully offer to display results from other spaces.  Not great if you're trying to firewall spaces from each other... 

I am a bit confused about using AND OR and NOT.

I tried the following:

I am looking for results labeled with "es,high" oder "pt,high":

{search-input:type=text|match=label|value=high AND label:(+global?es OR label:(+global?pt)}

But I do not get any results. What's wrong? 

Debug shows: Query: type:( page OR blogpost ) AND label:( +global?high AND label:(+global?es OR label:(+global?pt) )

We are using Confluence 2.7.1

But how can I restrict the results to "modified within last 7 days" ?

I'd like to be able to sort on the relative importance.  By which i mean, if i have two pages called Fred and Joe, and

they are brothers so within their text they contain their brother's name.  So the page called Fred contains the word Joe

and the page called Joe contains the word Fred.

Currently when i search for Joe, i get results- Fred and Joe sorted in that order, but i want the Joe page to appear first

because the match on the page name is "obviously" more important than a match at the text level.

I dont think i can rate the page, because that wouldn't rate the page in the page's context, the Joe page is a "5" for Joe

but only a "3" for "Fred".

Any ideas?

Definitely need the ability to restrict search to a specific space. This was mooted around a year ago. Any plans to implement?

Does really nobody know how to restrict search results to "lastModified:lastweek" or "lastModified:7d" ?

I really need this - this was given in "search macro" but I did not find something like this for "advanced search macro"?!

Please help me!

I need to show multiple search results on one page.

My idea was to add the search macros each on one single page and to build up another page with the include macro,

but only the first page performs the search query.

The others do not show anything - although they show results if I open those pages separately.

Any idea?

When I type in the basic examples, I get a popup saying Input(username) is null.  See last couple lines of log below.  It shows my username cfox570 then says it is null. ideas?

Has anyone successfully limited the Advanced Search plugin to a single space?

If so...

1. Is it possible to exclude spaces in searches?
2. Search actual content of pages under the home page of a space?

Here is what I have tried so far:

{search-form}
  {search-input:type=text|match=query}
  {search-input:type=hidden|match=spaceKey|value=spacename}
  {search-submit:Search}
{search-form}

{search-results}

This still pulls up pages from other spaces.

How is it possible to search only in titles or only for labels? Thanks.

If I have the Pagetree Searchplugin enabled, is there an easy way to embed the pageid into the Advanced Search search-input parameter? I can already code the value, but this would be pretty darn tedious to do on every page where I wanted to use this functionality.

For example, this works:

{search-form}
  {search-input:type=text|match=query}
  {search-input:type=hidden|match=query|value=ancestorIds:1966097}
  {search-submit:Search}
{search-form} {search-results}

but THIS doesn't:

{search-form}
  {search-input:type=text|match=query}
  {search-input:type=hidden|match=query|value=ancestorIds:$content.getId()}
  {search-submit:Search}
{search-form} {search-results}

TIA! Chris

Great tool, any chance you would consider adding a clear button next to the submit button or option of.

Keep up the good work

Regards

Dave

Instead of this format: 13 May 2008

Is there any way to make this plugin use this format for the Date Modified column?: 05/13/08

I would think the plugin would use the format defined in the Confluence configuration defined in the administration console, but I guess not?

Great plugin.

How difficult would it be to add support for searching the same types as the global Confluence search? Currently, the Confluence search has support for these additional types that this plugin does not: comments, attachments, mail.

Glancing at the post from David Goldstein (Jul 09, 2007) above that references SearchDWR.java, it looks like it would be pretty easy. If this is correct, please add support for searching comments, attachments and mail too.

Thanks!

Would it be possible to add a "target" parameter? Our users LOVE this macro, but don't like the necessity of clicking the back button to get back to the original search screen (and having their parameters reset). Something like a "|target=_blank" would allow us to launch the results in another window. Another thing that would be very helpful would be allowing for "uselayout" functionality, so I could have the content pop up in a special mode without menus, etc.

Thanks!! Chris

Great piece of work.

I´m trying to display all pages of one specific user. (btw. does anybody know another way to do that?)

I tried this:

{search-form}
 {search-input:type=text|match=query|value=username:admin}
{search-submit:Search}
{search-form}
{search-results:debug=true}

 
Result:

Query: ( type page OR  blogpost ) AND ( username:admin )

But nothing is shown.

But If I type  username:admin  into the search box in the upper left corner I get the list with all pages of user admin.

Any ideas? 

Thanks

philippe

Hello,

I'm having the same bug as Craig Fox :

When I search for some words (it's seems to happen randomly !), I've got a popup with " Input ( username ) is null".

I see  "Please Wait: Searching" but nothing happens...

Thank you

Greetings!

This is working great for us, except that "unrated" is returned in the Rating column on all results rows – even for pages with ratings. The syntax I'm using is as follows:

{search-form:autoSubmit=true|hidden=true}
  {search-input:type=hidden|match=label|value=pmgreading}
  {search-submit:Search}
{search-form}
{search-results:showExcerpts=false|rateThreshold=1|maxResults=50|fields=rating,title,creation,author|sortField=creation|sortDir=desc}

We're on version 2.9.1415 of Confluence and are using version 1.0.4 of the Advanced Search plugin. Also using version 2.0.2 of the Rate macro. Any thoughts?

Any way to search multiple Spacekeys within a single query?

Thanks!

Hello i'm trying to use this plugin for my confluence installation and i downloaded the source code to modify the look and feel results's table .
But i got some problems about configuring the project on my eclipse IDE and using maven2 to download the dependencies.

Some classes can't be found in any jar of installed or downloaded :

import com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.WikiStyleRenderer;
import com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.radeox.macros.ExcerptMacro;

those 2 imports are wrong .
I downloaded the jar too, and uplodaded on my confluence and seem to work properly.

anyone got the same problem with confluence 2.9.x?

any suggestion for a fix or where i can download the .jar needed?

thanks in advance.

hi,

i have the following search options on a page.

{search-form}
  {search-input:type=text|match=query} {search-submit:Search}

{search-input:type=checkbox|match=label|value=label1} label1
{search-input:type=checkbox|match=label|value=label2} label2
{search-input:type=checkbox|match=label|value=label3} label3
{search-input:type=checkbox|match=label|value=label4} label4
{search-form}

{search-results:types=page| debug=true}

actually i want to search pages with various labels assigned to them like label1,label2 etc.
when i select the check boxes for multiple labels .. this macro does an "AND" of all the label instead of doing "OR". is there a way i can implement ORing here so that i can search multiple pages with different labels.

Hi,

Does anyone have succeeded to filter metadata in the search form (Conf. 2.10; Adv. Search 1.0.5) ? like this

{search-form:autoSubmit=true}
{search-input:type=hidden|match=metadata|metadataKey=PageNumber|value=1}
{search-form}
{search-results:fields=title}

Assuming of course that a page in the space includes

{metadata:PageNumber}1{metadata}

or

{metadata-list}
|| PageNumber| 1 |
{metadata-list}

Hi,

is there a timeline for the new Advanced Search Plugin 2?

Im curious of the new features!

Any way to make the search results open in a new window or page?

We're testing Confluence v2.10.2, and can't seem to get Advanced Search to work at all. Even "basic" invocations throw this error: "Missing method or missing parameter converters: SearchDWR.doSearch"

Never mind! I forgot to restart the server after upgrading from Advanced Search v1.04 to v1.05.

In v1.04 and v1.05 (at least...maybe before), if you DON'T have the "Adaptavist Rate Macro" enabled, Advanced Search will still try to load the following resources, with 404 results.

mywiki/download/resources/com.adaptavist.confluence.rate:rate/gfx/builder/grad_stars.gif

mywiki/download/resources/com.adaptavist.confluence.rate:rate/gfx/builder/grey.gif

Would it be possible to eliminate that dependency, especially since it the Rate Macro appears to have been partially deprecated?

How many pages using a given plugin?

Can i write a search with this plugin that can give an output like this:

Atlassian support could not help.
They suggested the "Global Search and Replace Plugin". But it is only a beta and it did not worked on our 2.7.1 Confluence.
I have a large site with X thousand pages and Y thousand users and I need to figure out what pages are using what plugins because we're doing a 2.7.1->2.10 upgrade.
What's the best way to get this information on a system with this size?

Can I get some clarification on the version compatibility of the Advanced Search macro? Here (this page) it lists v1.0.5 as being compatible with v2.10 of Confluence, and that's also mentioned in its notes. However, the Plugin Exchange (https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/146 and https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/matrix/146) states that v1.0.4 is the right version to use for v2.10, and that v1.05 is incompatible...

Which is it?

Thanks...Chris
