Search only for modification date

Hi guys,

I’m new Razuna and its forum. I would like search asserts (via API) only using its last modification date, without a Search Term, something analogous to *nix’s find -mtime. I’ve tried to do this on the front-end and I get a response saying that I need to enter a search term. Using the API I run into two problems:

  1. The documentations says that the searchfor parameter is mandatory
  2. A wildcard, either * or ?, cannot be the first character of the searchfor parameter.

Here is my metada:

Self-hosted
Razuna 1.6.2
Chrome Version 32.0.1700.77
MySQL 5.5.29
SUSE Linux

Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

I’m afraid, that I can’t “help” you any further, because, just as the
documentation says, you have to enter a search term. We do not support a
search to return everything. That in itself is not a search anymore. If you
want for return all files, simple use the API to browse through folders.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nitai,

Thank you so much for your quick answer! In the meantime I got around by searching by the file extension. In the spirit of constructive criticism, I don’t agree that a search only on the modification time is no a search. As I mentioned *nix offers the -mtime option for the find command that doesn’t require the -name option to work.

Thank you for Razuna and the support you provide! :slight_smile:

Happy to read that you found a workaround. One of the disadvantages of the
current search implementation is that it doesn’t allow to search with a
wildcard character as the first character. This is one of the main reasons,
why we have based our search “philosophy” around.

In any case, Razuna 2.0 will be based on a completely different stack and
will allow us to make changes, especially in the search.

Thank you for using Razuna and being a customer.
