Type and Aspect queries have several things in common and both of them expect a name as the field value, specifically:

  • If the value is an unqualified name it will be expanded to a fully qualified name using the default namespace.
  • If the value is a prefixed name the prefix is expanded, for example cm:name => {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content}name.
  • If the value is a fully qualified name then it is used in that form.

Note

Prefix and wildcard queries in the namespace part, for example TYPE:{http://www.*}person won't work, whereas TYPE:{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}pers* does work. Descendant expansion in prefix and wildcard queries, for example TYPE: cm:pers* will not expand to cm:person descendants.
