What is the REAL error you're getting?? (add ?umbDebugShowTrace=true to the URL and scroll down to the red error in the trace).

Seb,

Is this helpful?

Thanks

Chris

Sort of.. have a look at what is going on at line 9 of your code, it's the filter, right? 

So what I'd do is start with an empty filter and add criteria 1 by 1.

Line 9 is 

var searchCriteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(UmbracoExamine.IndexTypes.Content);

I have tried removing the Index Type but this doesn't help. Is there somewhere with proper documentation on how to set this up in either Razor or as a usercontrol? I have watched the video on UmbracoTV but couldn't get that working and can't find a guide that i can get working.

Thanks

Chris

Doesnt seem to be a problem with the searcher.

Try a simpler query like

var filter = searchCriteria
                .Field("productLength", "50")
                .Compile();

and try to get that to work.  If so refer to http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2011/9/16/examining-examine.aspx for information on how to build up queries.  It is also useful to download the Luke tool http://code.google.com/p/luke/ to ensure your indexes are all populated and you can return results from there first.

FYI I have my searcher and criteria set up as follows (simplified - some query building steps removed):

var criteria = ExamineManager.Instance
            .SearchProviderCollection["MySearcher"]
            .CreateSearchCriteria(UmbracoExamine.IndexTypes.Content, Examine.SearchCriteria.BooleanOperation.Or);

Examine.SearchCriteria.IBooleanOperation filter = null;

 filter = criteria.Field("nodeName", searchTerm)

ISearchResults results = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["MySearcher"].Search(filter.Compile());

Not sure if this will help but something else to try perhaps

Barry,

I have downloaded luke and get some interesting results, i need to do a range search on 3 fields, my current code is as follows:

@using Examine
@using Examine.SearchCriteria
@using UmbracoExamine

@{
    var prodLength = Request.QueryString["l"];
    var prodWidth = Request.QueryString["w"];
    var prodDepth = Request.QueryString["d"];
    var prodLengthMin = 0;
    var prodLengthMax = 99999;
    var prodWidthMin = 0;
    var prodWidthMax = 99999;
    var prodDepthMin = 0;
    var prodDepthMax = 99999;

    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(prodLength))
    {
        string[] arrL = prodLength.Split('-');
        prodLengthMin = Convert.ToInt32(arrL[0]);
        prodLengthMax = Convert.ToInt32(arrL[1]);
    }
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(prodWidth))
    {
        string[] arrW = prodLength.Split('-');
        prodWidthMin = Convert.ToInt32(arrW[0]);
        prodWidthMax = Convert.ToInt32(arrW[1]);
    }
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(prodDepth))
    {
        string[] arrD = prodLength.Split('-');
        prodDepthMin = Convert.ToInt32(arrD[0]);
        prodDepthMax = Convert.ToInt32(arrD[1]);
    }

    var searchProvider = "ProductSearcher";
    var searchCriteria = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection[searchProvider].CreateSearchCriteria(UmbracoExamine.IndexTypes.Content, Examine.SearchCriteria.BooleanOperation.Or);

    var filter = searchCriteria
        .Range("productLength", prodLengthMin, prodLengthMax)
        .And()
        .Range("prodWidth", prodWidthMin, prodWidthMax)
        .And()
        .Range("prodDepth", prodDepthMin, prodDepthMax)
        .Not()
        .Field("umbracoNaviHide", "1")
        .Compile();
    var searchResults = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection[searchProvider].Search(filter);

}

• @prodLengthMin
• @prodLengthMax
• @prodWidthMin
• @prodWidthMax
• @prodDepthMin
• @prodDepthMax
@foreach (var c in searchResults) {
• @c.Fields["nodeName"]
}

I set the parameters wide enough to begin with so that it should find everything if they don't provide a parameter but i'm not sure why they aren't returning any results as the products do have these values in the correct fields.

This is my first examine/razor project and i am struggling badly. I wouldn't mind a usercontrol to do it in but i haven't been able to get one working in a way that i can understand.

Thank you for your help so far.

Chris

Try outputting the actual Lucene query that is run in your macro, like so:

@searchCriteria.ToString()

put it after you do the compile().

If you are getting results in Luke then you can compare the queries in this way.  I don't know anything about range queries so not able to help specifically on your query.  Sounds like you are getting there through.

Barry,

The reason the range doesn't work is because it's a text search rather than a numerical one so what need to happen is that the number needs to be padded out with zero's so i can do a proper comparison.

Thanks for your all your help.

Chris
