Smart Search syntax

I'm trying to craft a smart search query that searches a single field for one of several values. I am able to get this to work:

(ProjectStatus:Cancelled ProjectStatus:Completed)

But this also matches documents that do not have ProjectStatus set to Cancelled or Completed. I want something like

(+ProjectStatus:[Cancelled OR Completed])

But I can't seem to find the appropriate syntax. Any ideas?


Member	Swainy - 5/31/2013 4:50:03 AM RE:Smart Search syntax Hi Dave, Can you not add a where condition to the search? Then you can simply add in ProjectStatus = 'Cancelled' OR ProjectStatus = 'Completed'? Thanks, Matt


Certified Developer v6	Dave - 5/31/2013 8:09:46 AM RE:Smart Search syntax Hey Matt, Unfortunately this is being implemented as a custom Search Filter control (using a target ISearchFilterable control), so I don't think we can use a simple WHERE clause. I believe it has to be a Lucene search syntax. Thanks, Dave
