Search query custom path

Question

I'm trying to build a search query to find an item that is a child of the current item. Something like this:

custom:path|./_local/*

But this returns 0 results (should be 3 results). How do I do this?

Where are you executing the query? Is it a datasource? – Hishaam Namooya Sep 12 at 14:33 — Hishaam Namooya, Sep 12 at 14:33
Yes, it's the datasource field of a control/component – devzero Sep 16 at 6:53 — devzero, Sep 16 at 6:53

If this is the source query for a field, you can use:

query:../_local/*

For Datasource Location on a rendering you can put in:

./_local

0 results. This is not for a field, but for the datasource for a component – devzero Sep 16 at 6:54
@devzero I updated my answer for rendering datasource location – Ahmed Okour Sep 16 at 16:47
Does not work. What works is the absolute path "/sitecore/content/home/item/_Local/TextSpot". What does not work: "./_local/TextSpot". Text spot is a controll on the "item" – devzero Sep 16 at 19:51

Just make sure "_local" is the actual item name in your case, following worked fine for me in the "Datasource location" rendering def. field:

query:.//*[@@name='local']
