## com.bea.content.expression
Class Search

    java.lang.Object
      com.bea.content.expression.Search

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, Serializable

public class Search
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

This represents parameters for searching for Nodes.

There are reserved system properties (not type defined) that may be part of a search. They are:

- cm_uid -> Node.id.uid
- cm_createdDate -> Node.createDate
- cm_createdBy -> Node.createdBy
- cm_modifiedDate -> Node.modifiedBy
- cm_nodeName -> Node.name
- cm_path -> Node.path
- cm_isHierarchy -> Node.type == Node.HIERARCHY
- cm_isContent -> Node.type == Node.CONTENT
- cm_objectClass -> Node.objectClass.name
- cm_contentType -> BinaryValue.contentType
- cm_binarySize -> BinaryValue.size (For Node Properties)
- cm_binaryName -> BinaryValue.name (For Node Properties)

Field Detail

### contextParams

    protected Map contextParams

  The context params.

### expression

    protected Expression expression

  The search expression.

### maxReturn

    protected int maxReturn

  The maximum number of objects to return.

  Less than 0 signifies returning all matches.

### searchPaths

    protected List searchPaths

  The paths under which to search.

  This should be empty to search under all paths (repositories in a federeated search.) This is an OR'ed list.

  In a federated search, this can begin with "/*" (e.g."/*/some/path") to denote a search path under each repository. In non-federated search, this should not be construed to contain any special characters.

### sortCriteria

    protected SortCriteria[] sortCriteria

  The sorting criteria. The BEA Repository is only able to sort on system properties as defined above in the class javadoc.
