Search function does not work on shared folders

[ibagur]

The search function does not work in shared folders. If I share a folder with another user, this user cannot perform a search of files there. I can do searches on my own folder as usual.

However, the search function works ok for both own and shared calendars, for example.

I have tested both in Windows 7 and OSX Snow Leopard with PHP 5.3.2 and MySql 5.1.44

I ignore if this is a bug or a feature not present at the moment.

Thanks

I have interest in this too, searching within shared folders is crucial when you plan to use OC as a platform for multiple users with a sort of admin master user that checks and validates files and then shares them to lower level users. If they cannot search within shared files but only within their own files, the whole thing is highly limited.

So are there any plans to make this feature available?

+1 for me too, this would seem logical.

Right now I intend all users to share files and am granting them all access from an administrator account. This means the searching right now does nothing for them.

@MTGap @schiesbn what is the status on this?

@ibagur @lonestaritaly @andrewleith is anyone of you interested in implementing this? @butonic can you comment?

This is not going to happen for OC5. We should add this as a todo item for oc6, where we will likely move to filter the current app instead of showing the results in an extra dropdown.

That said modifying the current code to also search shared items should not be that hard. Searching inside shared files is a totally different topic and will be implementes in the search_lucene app.

I'd say go ahead and dive into the code: /lib/search/provider/file.php
As it seems @icewind1991 seems to have rewritten the way the filecache implements the search, so maybe he and @MTGap can shed some light on how best to search shared files.

@jancborchardt sorry but I have no programming skills

Anybody know how to modify the code to make this work? Any Update?

[matt0001]
