Thanks for the reply.

I just can't seem to move on with the Examine thingy.

I have read the articles on CodePlex and on FarmCode - not really helpful :-D

Have tried using both the StandardAnalyzer and the WhiteSpaceAnalyzer - same result for both.

Have tried adding different textfields to the index, wildcard searching on those instead - no luck.

Have tried using a compiled ISearchCriteria - tried using the overload for Search, that takes a SearchString and bool, which was set to true, which states that the use of wildcards are supported, as parameters - my searchstring could be "s" or "somestring*".
But no results.

I can easily make wildcard searches in Luke.

I am more or less ready to give up on this one for now.

I haven't found any documentation that gives a full picture of how this is to be done. I wathed the video of Shannon Deminick at CodeGarden - at he seems to have it working.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED - i need to implement some search and would not want to fall back to xslt search - when this good looking new search option is there.

This is the code and configuration used:

This is my indexer:

 <add name="DemoIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.LuceneExamineIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
           runAsync="true"
           supportUnpublished="false"
           supportProtected="true"
           interval="10"
           analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"/>

This is my searcher:

<add name="DemoSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.LuceneExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
           analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcards="true"/>

This is my indexset:

 <IndexSet SetName="DemoIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/DemoIndex/">
    <IndexAttributeFields>
      <add Name="id" />
      <add Name="nodeName"/>
      <add Name="nodeTypeAlias" />
      <add Name="parentID" />
    </IndexAttributeFields>
    <IndexUserFields>
      <add Name="cvrNr"/>
      <add Name="cpr" />
      <add Name="navn" />
      <add Name="forsikringsTager" />
    </IndexUserFields>
    <IncludeNodeTypes/>
    <ExcludeNodeTypes />
  </IndexSet>

This is the code that I use to search the index:

 var criteria = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["DemoSearcher"].CreateSearchCriteria();
            var filter = criteria
                .Field("cpr", TextBox1.Text)
                .Compile();
            
            SearchResults = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["DemoSearcher"].Search(filter);
 
            SearchResultListing.DataSource = SearchResults;
            SearchResultListing.DataBind();

WUWHUUUUU - Victory :-D

Just needed to use the umbracoexamine.searchcriteria - and and the MultipleCharacterWildcard.

It works!!!!!!!
