Hi Aem Community,

 

Is it best practice to run query builder under a page like path as page without .html, I need to find specific component of a page.

Thank You,

Keerthi K.

Hi @keerthi0555 using the query builder to search for specific components within a page is a common practice. When making query, it is a best practice to use a path that points to the page's content node rather than including the .html extension. It ensures that the query targets the content structure rather than the rendered output.

Hi @keerthi0555 

It depends, if you have that component inside many roots or scattered then yes write a query otherwise you can simply just iterate a tree.

      Hi @keerthi0555,

      Go to http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html

      ==============================

       

      • path → where you want to search (e.g., /content/your-site).

      • type = nt: unstructured → components are stored as NT: unstructured nodes.

      • property = sling:resourceType → identifies the component type.

      • property.value → the component’s full resourceType (e.g., your-site/components/content/your-component).

      • p.limit = -1 → return all matches (remove the default 10-item limit).

       

      ===============================

      {
      "path": "/content/your-site",
      "type": "nt: unstructured",
      "property": "sling:resourceType",
      "property.value": "your-site/components/content/your-component",
      "p.limit": -1
      }
