Search Features for Share

Hi,

In Alfresco 3.2.0r enterprise Alfresco added the repository document library view which provides a way to browse the full repository similar to the document library in a site. It would be very useful to also have the advanced search enabled on this page. This would allow users to search all files in Alfresco using the Share UI.

On a default installation of Alfresco Share this view is disabled, to enable it add the following configuration section to share-config-custom.xml:

  <!-- Repository Library config section -->
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
      <!--
         Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
      -->
      <visible>true</visible>

      <!--
         Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
      -->
      <root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>

      <!--
         Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
         This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
      -->
      <tree>
         <evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
      </tree>
   </config>
