When/ where is the code executing?

Have you tried hitting a debugger to see what the name of the searchProvider object is?

I've got some working POC code for swapping providers on a per-request using an IoC container (and it worked :P)

The code executes on page load if a query parameter is found on the querystring.

I step straight into this code and break on the last line shown here when I collect all the debug info using the Imediate Window.

var searchProvider = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection[SearchProviderName];
if (searchProvider == null)
    searchProvider = ExamineManager.Instance.DefaultSearchProvider;

var criteria = searchProvider.CreateSearchCriteria(IndexType.Content);
criteria.RawQuery(q);
var results = searchProvider.Search(criteria);
        
var summary = (from result in results select new { result.Id, result.Score, Title = result.Fields["nodeName"] }).ToList();
RecordCount = results.TotalItemCount; // break point here.

The results below to me they look like I've got a singleton of the inex that doesn't update unless I reload the application. (Similar to the issue I had earlier)

Here's the debug info for 5 queries, the first 3 use a "member-only" index, and the results change only when touching the web.config.

The second 2 use a "public" index, but the first results come from the "member-only" index until I touch the web.config again.

searchProvider.Name
"KnowledgeForMembers"
criteria.ToString()
"{ MaxResults: 0, SearchIndexType: Content, LuceneQuery: +(abstract:lorem bodyText:lorem id:lorem nodeName:lorem updateDate:lorem writerName:lorem path:lorem nodeTypeAlias:lorem parentID:lorem) }"
summary
Count = 2
    [0]: { Id = 1166, Score = 0.090463385, Title = "all attachments" }
    [1]: { Id = 1182, Score = 0.03762361, Title = "full article for members" }

// here I update article #1182 to append v2 to the title.

searchProvider.Name
"KnowledgeForMembers"
criteria.ToString()
"{ MaxResults: 0, SearchIndexType: Content, LuceneQuery: +(abstract:lorem bodyText:lorem id:lorem nodeName:lorem updateDate:lorem writerName:lorem path:lorem nodeTypeAlias:lorem parentID:lorem) }"
summary
Count = 2
    [0]: { Id = 1166, Score = 0.090463385, Title = "all attachments" }
    [1]: { Id = 1182, Score = 0.03762361, Title = "full article for members" }

// touch web.config

searchProvider.Name
"KnowledgeForMembers"
criteria.ToString()
"{ MaxResults: 0, SearchIndexType: Content, LuceneQuery: +(abstract:lorem bodyText:lorem id:lorem nodeName:lorem updateDate:lorem writerName:lorem path:lorem nodeTypeAlias:lorem parentID:lorem) }"
summary
Count = 2
    [0]: { Id = 1166, Score = 0.090463385, Title = "all attachments" }
    [1]: { Id = 1182, Score = 0.03762361, Title = "full article for members v2" }

searchProvider.Name
"KnowledgeForPublic"
criteria.ToString()
"{ MaxResults: 0, SearchIndexType: Content, LuceneQuery: +(abstract:lorem bodyText:lorem id:lorem nodeName:lorem updateDate:lorem writerName:lorem path:lorem nodeTypeAlias:lorem parentID:lorem) }"
summary
Count = 2
    [0]: { Id = 1166, Score = 0.090463385, Title = "all attachments" }
    [1]: { Id = 1182, Score = 0.03762361, Title = "full article for members v2" }

// touch web.config

searchProvider.Name
"KnowledgeForPublic"
criteria.ToString()
"{ MaxResults: 0, SearchIndexType: Content, LuceneQuery: +(abstract:lorem bodyText:lorem id:lorem nodeName:lorem updateDate:lorem writerName:lorem path:lorem nodeTypeAlias:lorem parentID:lorem) }"
summary
Count = 1
    [0]: { Id = 1202, Score = 0.257482857, Title = "free teaser article" }

Hope I included enough info but not toooooo much :-)

Cheers.
