We are testing Weblink for searching via URLs. From the docs we are starting with this:

http://Servername/WebLink8/Search.aspx?dbid=x&searchcommand=searchquery

What are the options for "searchquery", I would like to restrict search to a repo folder location, meaning we want to contain the search for "water" to this location?

Repo Location: CRM\52

Search Text for "water"

what is the syntax for this? or if someone can point me to docs on this I will happily start there?

I am looking:

http://Servername/WebLink8/Search.aspx?dbid=x&searchcommand="find 'water' in CRM\52"

Build the search in the LF Client and have the advanced syntax open. After you run the search, the advanced syntax window will have the text that you can copy and paste into the weblink url . Then you can tokenize parts of the search string on the backend to get it to be dynamic.

I'm noticing an issue as well, specific to compound searches. In the client, searching for a document with a specific field, within a specific folder, works as expected.

In weblink however, it evaluates without any respect towards the specific folder.

The weblink search command:

http://server/weblink/search.aspx?searchcommand={[]:[Document Number]="917"} & {LF:LOOKIN="Repository\Finance"}

Returns the same document as:

http://server/weblink/search.aspx?searchcommand={[]:[Document Number]="917"} & {LF:LOOKIN="Repository\Public Works"}

and

http://server/weblink/search.aspx?searchcommand={[]:[Document Number]="917"} & {LF:LOOKIN="Repository\Madeupnameforafolderthatdoesntexist"}

Is this a bug?

Carl

Did you encode the search string to be URL compatible?

Also, did you try to remove the repository name from the string so the lookin becomes:

{LF:LOOKIN="\Public Works"}

Bingo. Solved my issue. If properly encoded, the compound search work as expected.

Thanks Ben.

We did find in LF10 Web access ability to build a search:

http://pgc-lfsweb/weblinkdirect/Search.aspx?dbid=x&searchcommand=(%7BLF%3ALOOKIN%3D%22%5CCRM%5C19223%22%7D)%20%26%20info%22%40%22nsmarineleisure%22.%22com

So we tried using that syntax in Weblink. Throws a weblink error. So thinking LF10 Web Access syntax does not translate to Weblink9.

Put advanced search syntax between the curly braces {}.
