Search Criteria reference¶
Search Criteria are filters for Content and Location Search and Repository filtering.
Criteria can take some of the following arguments:
target- when the Criterion supports targeting a specific Field, example:FieldDefinitionor Metadata identifiervalue- the value(s) to filter on, typically a scalar or array of scalarsoperator- constants onIbexa\Contracts\Core\Repository\Values\Content\Query\Criterion\Operator:IN,EQ,GT,GTE,LT,LTE,LIKE,BETWEEN,CONTAINS. Most Criteria do not expose this and selectEQorINdepending on whether the value is scalar or an array.INandBETWEENalways act on an array of values, while the other operators act on single scalar valuevalueData- additional value data, required by some Criteria, for instanceMapLocationDistance
Support and capabilities of individual Criteria can depend on the search engine.
In the Legacy search engine, the field index/sort key column is limited to 255 characters by design. Due to this storage limitation, searching content using the Country Field Type or Keyword when there are multiple values selected may not return all the expected results.
