Quick search in the Share (the little box in the top right) do not behave as most expect. When you enter multiple keywords, then Alfresco will search using OR. Which means that you get more hits with multiple keywords, not as you expect, results narrowed. So we need to get Alfresco to do AND by default between the keywords.

For a client I needed to come up with a solution to use a specific metadata edit form when the document had a certain aspect applied. Reason was that that if it had this aspect, you should only be allowed to edit this subset of metadata, not the default name, title etc (sort of a lockdown). Out of the box you can only configure different forms based on document type so I needed to find a way to see if the document had the aspect applied, and if so show a special form.

One of the strengths with Alfresco is the many ways you can interact with the repository, getting information in and out of the repository not only using the web client, but also with protocol such as imap, ftp nfs, webdav, and cifs. But taking a protocol such as cifs (before 1996 known as smb) that is non-versioning network file system and apply it to a versionable repository such as Alfresco you are on to a tough journey. I have been dealing more with cifs for many of my clients than I ever would have wanted, but I understand client that wish to use Alfresco via cifs. Their end users can just continue editing document the way they are used to and avoiding the extra steps of download/upload that the web client like Share requires.
