here is my follow-up. I tried to solve the problem with an event handler:

public class ExamineEvents : ApplicationBase
    {
        private const string myIndexerName = "MyIndexerName";
        private BaseIndexProvider myIndexer;
        private int parentId;

        public ExamineEvents()
        {
            myIndexer = ExamineManager.Instance.IndexProviderCollection[myIndexerName];
            myIndexer.NodesIndexed += new EventHandler<IndexedNodesEventArgs>(myIndexer_NodesIndexed);

            parentId = myIndexer.IndexerData.ParentNodeId.Value;
        }

        void myIndexer_NodesIndexed(object sender, IndexedNodesEventArgs e)
        {
            var doc = new Document(parentId);
            var xml = doc.ToXDocument(false).Root;
            myIndexer.ReIndexNode(xml, IndexTypes.Content);          
        }
    }

The event fires on reindexing, receives the correct document, but the fields aren't included in the index (checked it with Luke).
When i understand the code of the ReIndexNode method correctly, the node i want to be indexed doesn't have to be in the index before.

What am i doing wrong?

Did you ever got this working? I'm having the same problem.

I had a look at some of the unit tests of Examine. There I found the "Index_Move_Media_From_Non_Indexable_To_Indexable_ParentID" method. In there was this:

var currPath = (string)node.Attribute("path"); //should be : -1,2222,2112
Assert.AreEqual("-1,2222,2112", currPath);

//now mimic moving 2112 to 1116
node.SetAttributeValue("path", currPath.Replace("2222", "1116"));
node.SetAttributeValue("parentID", "1116");

//now reindex the node, this should first delete it and then WILL add it because of the parent id constraint
_indexer.ReIndexNode(node, IndexTypes.Media);

Now this is my code:

protected void Nlindexer_NodesIndexed(object sender, IndexedNodesEventArgs e)
{
    var doc = new Document(parentId);
    var node = doc.ToXml(new System.Xml.XmlDocument(), false).ToXElement();
    var currPath = (string)node.Attribute("path");

    node.SetAttributeValue("path", "-1,1067,1069,1069");
    node.SetAttributeValue("parentID", "1069");

    nlindexer.ReIndexNode(node, IndexTypes.Content);
}

I hoped this would work, but when I use Luke the node is still not indexed.

Did anyone manage to work out a fix for this? I've got exactly the same problem in that I need to add the IndexParentId document to the given index.

Benjamin,

I think you may need to download examine source and stick a break point on BaseUmbracoIndexer.cs method ValidateDocument I suspect something a miss there not 100% though. The method is

/// <summary>

        /// Ensures that the node being indexed is of a correct type and is a descendent of the parent id specified.

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="node"></param>

        /// <returns></returns>

        protected override bool ValidateDocument(XElement node)

        {

            //check if this document is a descendent of the parent

            if (IndexerData.ParentNodeId.HasValue && IndexerData.ParentNodeId.Value > 0)

                if (!((string)node.Attribute("path")).Contains("," + IndexerData.ParentNodeId.Value.ToString() + ","))

                    return false;

            return base.ValidateDocument(node);

        }

I suspect if the home page id is 1069 you would probably have path like -1,1069 however the test is !((string)node.Attribute("path")).Contains("," + IndexerData.ParentNodeId.Value.ToString() + ",") you got that extra , so i suspect it will be false and there not be indexed?
