How can I search our dita content by an attribute value?

We need to be able to search our content by an attribute value, in this specific case by the ishcondition value. Is this possible in KC?

Thanks for all the contributions 'CMS Adminstrator2', the right route for this would be the ideas section community.sdl.com/.../tridion-docs-ideas

In Browse Repository | Search | Find what, you must enter the full "source XML syntax." For example:
ishcondition="Management_Platform='ePolicy Orchestrator'"

This works, Thanks!

However, when more than one condition is applied, this will not work.
ishcondition="(audience=advanced) and (Management_Platform=ePolicy Orchestrator)"

Sure you aren't missing the single quotes around the condition values (example: 'ePolicy Orchestrator')?

Yes, the single quote is missing from my example. This quote is needed because the condition name that you provided in your example contains a space.

But that detracts from the point in my reply. In the case where multiple conditions are applied to an element, your first example would not return any results because of the way that XML code is constructed.

If the search feature was more robust then it would be easier to search for an attribute=ishcondition that contains the value Management_Platform='ePolicy Orchestrator'. This would be a nice feature enhancement.

Sounds good, but since I don't work for SDL (I'm a customer), you might have to submit the feature request through your main SDL contact... Paul M.
