CRXDE Lite Xpath contains() query only returning results when property is specified

I am trying to run a query against any node inside the path I specify, returning any nodes that contain any property containing the string 'foo'. To do so, I use this query suggested by CRXDE Lite:

 

/jcr:root/content/path//*[jcr:contains(., 'foo')] order by @6655266:score

 

I get no results.

 

But, if I specify a property, let's say html:

 

/jcr:root/content/path//*[jcr:contains(@html, 'foo')] order by @6655266:score

 

I get results.

 

Doesn't the '.' mean to search all properties? If so, why does it not return the results that I receive when I specify a property?

I am not sure why that would happen as my comment above was tested on a local OOTB AEM 6.5 instance and gave the expected result.

If you do not have a concern about data loss on local then try the below steps:
> Stop the local instance

> remove crx-quickstart folder

> restart instance

Then try this query

/jcr:root/content/we-retail//*[jcr:contains(., 'men')] order by @jcr:score

Hi, 

 

I ran the below query, in CRXDE query tool, with property for example below, I got one result as only one node had title containing text 'foo'

/jcr:root/content/we-retail//*[jcr:contains(@jcr:title, 'foo')] order by @jcr:score


And when I ran the below query which has '.' instead of a specific property, I got all resultset containing foo in any of the node properties.

/jcr:root/content/we-retail//*[jcr:contains(., 'foo')] order by @jcr:score

    Thank you for the reply!

     

    Interesting, I just tried replicating my experiment in our development environment, and it worked perfectly, just as you've captured. But following the same steps in my local 4502 environment yielded the results I shared in my initial post. Both environments have the same package installed.

     

    Any idea what might cause my local environment to behave this way?

      Hmm, I'm not seeing Query Performance--documentation for 6.4 seems to say it's in Tools > Operations, but I'm on AEM CS (I just realized I didn't mention that in my original post).

       

      Does Query Performance exist on CS?


      In AEMaaCS local SDK, there is no Operations console (hence no Query Diagnosis/Performance tool)

      Can you confirm if your local SDK is latest as that of the DEV cloud service instance?
