Custom Search Facets Predicate

[NitroHazeDev]

I have been referring to https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/administer/content/assets/custom-search-facets.html, and i wonder if we could actually have a predicate for a check where the property does not exist?

HI Nicole, you can use custom Predicates in aem to search JCR. There are not too many community articles that show this API IN ACTION.  One that does and will point you in right direction is this one. https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-custom-cq-tree.html Notice the code in the servlet. We need more examples of this API in action.

You can also use JCR API and call hasproperty that returns a boolean.

Hey Scott,

I am trying to customize the http://localhost:4502/assets.html/content/dam search functionality, by following the link pasted above, i have a way to create a predicate by using the hidden field predicate, to search for assets that do not have the property "xyz", but i cant have conditions to search for an asset with the property and without the property together while searching for assets. I could create another form, but not sure how to hook it up to the search option

[smacdonald2008]

If you create another form,  why not make a Restful call to backend service?

I am travelling from Europe to North America. If this is not answered, I can setup a connect session to dig into this and help you find a good solution.
