Description
Search launched from site scope still starts in Repository scope
Steps to reproduce:
1- Log in to Share and create a file in "Repository" (e.g. "Repository" > "test1.txt)
2- Create a file with the same name in document library of a site (e.g. "site1" > document library > "test1.txt)
3- In the site (site1) search the file (test1)
Expected behaviour:
Search results will be constrained to that site. Therefore it only displays the file in that site.
Observed bahaviour:
Search results in the live search drop-down will be for the entire Repository not constrained to that site. Therefore it displays both files.
However the option to set the search for that particular site in advanced search page is available.
Analysis to date:
- This issue has been reproduced in Alfresco version 5.0.0.3, Solr4
- The default value for repository search configuration in share-config.xml is set to "always-options".
Changing this value to "context" doesn't perform the search based on the current context:
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Search">
<search>
<!-- Repository search configuration option -->
<!--
The 'repository-search' config element value can be one of:
none - disable repository wide search option
context - search depending on current context, including repository, all sites, current site (default)
always - always search full repository no matter what the context, disables search context options
always-options - always search full repository no matter what the context, still shows the search context options
-->
<repository-search>context</repository-search>
</search>
Business case:
Its a very important criteria to have context search for the customer.
And in the meantime please advise if there is any quick fix for getting context search back

This functionality change was a natural change with the implementation of 'live search' versus the old 'simple search'. Live search actually does render the site information in the search results which the user can see to reduce or select by site.
The redirect on entry of search text, to the 'filtered search' (advance) page does provide the context(site) in the pull down selection list but it defaults always to the Repository list view of results.
I would think it should at least default to the context (site) result list view, at least, as did in its predecessor in 4.2.x.
Whether or not control configuration is viable or necessary with new search implementation is another question.
I believe this should be a improvement request but, regardless of the major search function change, it can also be considered a regression since it did allow filtering. So at this point jira has been set to SP bug - regression.
With Aikau 1.0.8 (in Alfresco 5.0.1) it is possible for a customer to provide an extension module to reconfigure the SearchBox default behavior. This can be done by setting the "site" configuration attribute is set to the site context, e.g.
var searchMenuBase = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel.widgets, "id", "HEADER_SEARCH"); searchMenuBase.config.site = page.url.templateArgs.site;
QA, please test the default behavior can be changed in this way.
Test case: Alfresco Enterprise v5.0.0 (.6 r96365-b25) schema 8010, SOLR4
MNT-11543.Regardless of configuration defined in the share-config-custom.xml for the <repository-search> setting ((none,context,always, always-option: listed in the configuration comments), the live search does not change its listing results nor does it have any impact on the 'filter search' (i.e. advance) list view.
