List assets containing specific URLs

I’m hoping someone can help me but is there a way to list all assets that contain a specific URL within the body content of a given root node?

Cheers

No great ways.

Any real ./?a=12345 hrefs in container html should have NOTICE links created so you should you can surface them via an Asset Listing page restricted to:

  • direct links
  • NOTICE links
  • Up the tree
  • restrict results to the root node in question

but that won’t find those uses that don’t create a NOTICE link, such as:

  • URL hrefs
  • hrefs from MD fields (assetid or URL)

URLs do not get indexed by the search index, so Search Page can’t ehlp. Data Search Tool https://marketplace.squiz.net/extensions/data-search-tool could be useful if it’s installed and you’re a sysadmin.

Failing that, it’s time to scrape the whole subsection of the site and grep the results.

Thanks John

So the Data Search Tool ended up doing the trick :slight_smile:
