How can I search for complete xml/html tags in Tridion?

Question

Is there a way to search for complete xml/html tags in a Tridion RTF field ?.

For example : <span class="image1css">some content</span>

Is that possible to search for <span class=\"image1css\"> by entering a query in the CMS search box or via the core service?.

I have tried changing the SOLR config update request handler XmlUpdateRequestHandler to JsonUpdateRequestHandler, but after changing that directly in the config, indexing is not happening for a newly created component.

Answer 1

You can search with the class name directly, like *image1css* and it will give you the desired result. This result will be specific since it is matching the name of the class. You don't need to give span tag etc in search.

Answer 2

If you are using Core Services, then try the FullTextQueryas below: I used it for finding the components which is having below specific date in metadata field. You can change the ItemType to create SearchQuery

for reference follow this link How to use "FullTextQuery" for metadata date field of a component?

var Querydata = new SearchQueryData
{
FullTextQuery = " 2014-01-29T10\\:58\\:05* in Test_Date ",
ItemType = New ItemType[] {ItemType.Component}
};
ItendifiableObjectData[] compList = Client.GetSearchResult(queryData);
