CSSDK Search on Date Range

Hey,

Is it possible with CSSDK to have search based on a "Date-Range"? Has anyone done this before?
Any input will be highly appreciated.

Do you mean a "TeamSite Search" search or a CSDir.getFiles() recursive filtered listing "search"?

It's possible using either. You just have to properly construct your XML query string.

I meant a TeamSite Search.

I suggest playing around with the iwsrchquery CLT on your Search server. There's an appendix in the CLT guide that says what the XML query needs to look like. If memory serves, the dates are exposed as attributes per the BaseQuery syntax. The exact name of the attributes should match what you get from iwsrchattrib and/or iwattrib (i.e. try looking for LastModifiedDate or attrmoddate) and then as your attribute operator, use < or >.

So you'd search for files where you have two ANDed selectors:
LastModDate > $yourStartDate
LastModDate < $yourEndDate

Hey Rick,

Thanks for your detailed response. I've been successful in accomplishing these requirement. As you've rightly pointed out, it is based on attributes.

However, I'm currently having another issue, this time with nested search query. I need to search something like this, field A="X" AND (field B="Y" OR field B="Z"). This always successfully returns for OR part but ignored AND part.

Any input here will be highly helpful.

Post your XML query. It's probably a silly syntax thing.

I need to construct the XML query to get the locked files using GetModifiedFiles(Query, expandFolders, offset, maxelements) method. Please help me to construct the XML and where I can find the related information.
