API Questions

Hi folks

I am working on a search function for a protected area of a website. It needs to search in the members section. I need to be able to search on the Name and two custom properties.

I followed the videoes by Tim on umbraco

In my ExamineIndex.config l added:

<IndexSet SetName="MemberSearchIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/MemberSearch/">
    <IndexAttributeFields>
      <add Name="id" />
      <add Name="nodeName" />
      <add Name="updateDate" />
      <add Name="writerName" />
      <add Name="loginName" />
      <add Name="email" />
      <add Name="nodeTypeAlias" />
    </IndexAttributeFields>
    <IndexUserFields>
      <add Name="afdeling" />
      <add Name="telefonnummer" />
    </IndexUserFields>
    <IncludeNodeTypes />
    <ExcludeNodeTypes />
  </IndexSet>

And in the ExamineSettings.config I added:

<ExamineIndexProviders>
    <providers>
      <add name="MemberSearchIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoMemberIndexer, UmbracoExamine" supportUnpublished="true" supportProtected="true" analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" indexSet="MemberSearchIndexSet" />
    </providers>
  </ExamineIndexProviders>
  <ExamineSearchProviders defaultProvider="ExternalSearcher">
    <providers>
      <add name="MemberSearchSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine" analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcards="true" indexSet="MemberSearchIndexSet" />
    </providers>
  </ExamineSearchProviders>

The usercontrol and my search field are set up just like in the video.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help/pointers welcome :)

Thanks in advance.

/Michael

Are there any files in the ~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/MemberSearch/ folder?

Looks good, could you show us some code that does the searchquery (I haven't seen those videos)?

My ascx code looks like this:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="SearchResults.ascx.cs" Inherits="SearchResults" %>

<asp:Repeater ID="SearchResultListing" runat="server">
  <HeaderTemplate>
    <ul>
  </HeaderTemplate>
  <ItemTemplate>
    <li>
      <%# ((Examine.SearchResult)Container.DataItem).Fields["nodeName"]%>
    </li>
  </ItemTemplate>
  <FooterTemplate>
    </ul>
  </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

And the ascx.cs

using Examine;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class SearchResults : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
  // The term being searched on
  protected string SearchTerm { get; private set; }

  // The search results list
  protected IEnumerable<SearchResult> SearchResults { get; private set; }
  public SearchResults()
  {
    SearchTerm = string.Empty;
    SearchResults = new List<SearchResult>();
  }
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      SearchTerm = Request.QueryString["s"];
      if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(SearchTerm)) return;

      var criteria = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["MemberSearchSearcher"].CreateSearchCriteria();

      var filter = criteria.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeName", "afdeling", "telefonnummer" }, SearchTerm).Not().Field("umbracoNaviHide", "1").Compile();

      SearchResults = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["MemberSearchSearcher"].Search(filter);

      SearchResultListing.DataSource = SearchResults;
      SearchResultListing.DataBind();
    }
}

Hmm, looks ok. Did you try a ToLower() on your searchterm. I don't think Examine is case sensitive.

No luck with:
```
SearchTerm = Request.QueryString["s"].ToLower();
```
BTW, my search field code looks like this:
```
<form action="/search" method="get">
  <input type="text" name="s" />
  <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
```
I get this error on my searchresults page: Error loading userControl '~/usercontrols/SearchResults.ascx'

Right now my ascx.cs and .ascx are both just copied to the umbraco usercontrols folder. Could that be causing the error? Does it need to be a dll instead?
