David,

Can you do

latestFreemanCriteria.ToString()

And report back output this will give you the generated lucene query string and it will give you more information.

You can also then try running that query directly on the index using luke for lucene tool.

Here is the query and lucene string:

var latestFreemanCriteria = ExamineManager.Instance.CreateSearchCriteria() .NodeTypeAlias("AnythingPeacefulArticle").Or().NodeTypeAlias("FreemanArticle").Or().NodeTypeAlias("ResourcesPage").Compile() .OrderByDescending("publicationDate") .Compile();

{ SearchIndexType: , LuceneQuery: +_NodeTypeAlias:anythingpeacefularticle _NodeTypeAlias:freemanarticle __NodeTypeAlias:resourcespage }

This only searches the first alias I specify.

David,

You need a GroupedOr. Also you are doing at the end an in memory sort which is not as efficient as getting lucene to do it for you.

Lets get the groupedor working first then we can look at the sort.

Hi Guys,

I posted a blog article about this here. https://www.umbrajobs.com/blog/posts/2020/july/umbraco-8-examine-how-to-search-multiple-doctypes/

This is what you need.

 var searcher = index.GetSearcher();
                var criteria = searcher.CreateQuery(IndexTypes.Content, BooleanOperation.Or);
                var examineQuery = criteria.NodeTypeAlias("contentPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("blogDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("eventDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("officeDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("sectorDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("serviceDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("staffDetailsPage");

is working on a reply...
