This topic describes how you can define and create your own custom filters for being
displayed on the search result page.
You can define custom filters in the solr-facets-config-custom.properties file. You can also use this file to override the default filter properties.
- Navigate to the <classpathRoot>/alfresco/extension directory.
- Create the solr-facets-config-custom.properties file.
-
Open the solr-facets-config-custom.properties file and specify
your custom filter properties.
Here's an example of custom filter configuration:
custom.cm\:description.filterID=filter_newFilter custom.cm\:description.displayName=faceted-search.facet-menu.facet.description custom.cm\:description.displayControl=alfresco/search/FacetFilters custom.cm\:description.maxFilters=3 custom.cm\:description.hitThreshold=1 custom.cm\:description.minFilterValueLength=2 custom.cm\:description.sortBy=DESCENDING custom.cm\:description.scope=SCOPED_SITES custom.cm\:description.scopedSites= custom.cm\:description.isEnabled=true
Note: The values specified in the custom filters will overwrite the default filter's value. However, if you change the filter's default value(s) via Share, then any subsequent changes made to the filter values via the configuration files, won't be applied to the filter on server startup.
