Examine Search within a url-picker

Hi how do i search within a url pickers link-title with Examine

If i have the following property

<author>
<url-picker>
<new-window>False</new-window>
<node-id/>
<url/>
<link-title>H.C. Andersen</link-title>
</url-picker>
</author>

And if I search for H.C. Andersen i get nothing. This is my code:

var searchIn = new List<string> { "author", "publisher", "director", "producer", "actors" };
var query = searchCriteria.GroupedOr(searchIn.ToArray(), "H.C. Andersen").Compile();
var searchResults = searcher.Search(query).ToList();

Kim,

You need to implement gatheringnode data event and during indexing inject into the index the values you want to search on. Urlpicker is stored as xml so does not end up in the index and therefore not searchable. See http://thecogworks.co.uk/blog/posts/2012/november/examiness-hints-and-tips-from-the-trenches-part-2/ for more information and some code on how to implement gatheringnode data event. In your code you would need to do something like
```
var urlPicker = uComponents.DataTypes.UrlPicker.Dto.UrlPickerState.Deserialize(node.GetProperty("author")
```
That will get you a strongly typed object for the url picker you can then inject to the index the properties.

Regards

Ismail
