    Examine - specifying document types to search

    I am trying to configure my Examine search to include a limited number of document types. What I've got so far is below

    var criteria = ExamineManager.Instance.CreateSearchCriteria();

        var expression = criteria.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeName", "bodyText" }, searchTerm)

            .And()

            .Field("nodeTypeAlias", "Standard")
         .Or()

            .Field("nodeTypeAlias", "NewsArticle");

    This is only half working as it's only finding results in the first document type mentioned - in this case "Standard" - and ignoring any matches in "NewsArticles" documents. If I swap them round it will find matches in NewsArticles

    Can anyone advise how I can tweak this to get results from multiple document types? I need to do this as there are some document types I need to exclude.

    Thanks

    Hi Graeme,

    You can specify docTypes for search in your Examine config file. http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/searching/examine/overview-explanation

    Thanks, Alex

    Graeme,

    Do a And().GroupedOR on the nodetypealias field

    Regards

    Ismail

    Thanks for your replies. Alex - I did try the config file but couldn't get it to work. Must have been doing something wrong.

    Ismail - thanks for that suggestion. I think that would do the trick.

    However I already managed to get it working by using the following syntax to explicitly state which doc types not to include:

    var expression = criteria.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeName", "bodyText" }, searchTerm) //which fields to search         
            .Not()  // document types not to search....
            .Field("nodeTypeAlias", "ContentPanel")
           .Not()
           .Field("nodeTypeAlias", "Image")
             .Not()
           .Field("nodeTypeAlias", "Folder")
            .Not()
           .Field("nodeTypeAlias", "ContentPanels")            
            ;

    Thanks again both for your help
