I am using XSLT search and its working fine. But when i use my .net user control and put it on the page, xslt search doesn't work for my user control. It just search the contents which are on the page. So is there any limitation of XSLT search that it doesn't work for .net user control etc....? Any help will be highly appreciated.
How are you trying to use it in a .NET control? XSLTSearch will work in a .NET control if you're running through an XSLT engine such as the Umbraco macro engine or you write your own.
But XSLT search isn't really designed to be run from .NET, it's an XSLT component ;).
Examine is a good alternative if you want to search in both .NET and XSLT, there's some videos to get you started with it on umbraco TV.
First of all i created macro that is the .net user control. And then i placed that macro into my page. So how do i configure such a way that .net user control runs through XSLT engine?
well, my macro alias is "DisplayMessage", then how can i change to XSLTSearch. Because two macro's alias should not be the same. And XSLTSearch macro is already exists.
Error creating control
(usercontrols/DisplayMessage.ascx). Maybe file doesn't exists or the
usercontrol has a cache directive, which is not allowed! See the tracestack for
more information!

No problem.... I really appreciated your help. Let me go through the link you have provided, hope it works for me nd if not then i will trouble you again.
Creating your own indexer + search is not part of Umbraco though, those videos will get you underway with Examine and then you'll need to write some .NET (which is outlined in the above blog) to take the data from your external data source and put it into Examine for searching.
There's no drag-and-drop solution for indexing external data sources.
Search using XSLT
Hi,
I am using XSLT search and its working fine. But when i use my .net user control and put it on the page, xslt search doesn't work for my user control. It just search the contents which are on the page. So is there any limitation of XSLT search that it doesn't work for .net user control etc....? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciated that.
First of all i created macro that is the .net user control. And then i placed that macro into my page. So how do i configure such a way that .net user control runs through XSLT engine?
Either write your own XSLT engine or just put a <umbraco:Macro alias="XSLTSearch" runat="server" /> in your .NET macro.
well, my macro alias is "DisplayMessage", then how can i change to XSLTSearch. Because two macro's alias should not be the same. And XSLTSearch macro is already exists.
<umbraco:Macro Alias="DisplayMessage" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
<umbraco:Macro is an ASP.Net server control, so you can put it inside any other .NET server control.
That's what you have to do, put your XSLTSearch macro inside the .NET one.
Hi,
Here is my templete

DisplayMessage is my .net user control
XSLTSearch is performing search.
Now how can i placed Xsltsearch macro inside my .net control?
Thanks.
Put this:

When i put in my .ascx file,
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="DisplayMessage.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.DisplayMessage" %>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" />
Hi this is viral

I am getting following error.
Maybe file doesn't exists or the usercontrol has a cache directive, which is not allowed! See the tracestack for more information!

oh sorry...... i misplaced it.

Now, it shows on the page with xslt search. But the problem still remains same. It doesn't search the content from user control.
Oh sorry, I miss-interpreted what you were trying to do (I thought you were trying to interact with XSLT Search from a .NET control).
XSLTSearch doesn't search anything but the Umbraco XML cache, if you want to search something that's not from Umbraco you need to use Examine http://farmcode.org/post/2010/08/10/Using-Examine-to-index-search-with-ANY-data-source.aspx
No problem.... I really appreciated your help. Let me go through the link you have provided, hope it works for me nd if not then i will trouble you again.
Thanks again.
Now, How do i use this Examine? Do i need to copy all .dll into bin/ folder thats it? i am not getting clear picture from the above link.
Thanks.
There's videos on how to use Examine as part of an Umbraco.tv subscription: http://umbraco.tv/help-and-support/video-tutorials/developing-with-umbraco
Creating your own indexer + search is not part of Umbraco though, those videos will get you underway with Examine and then you'll need to write some .NET (which is outlined in the above blog) to take the data from your external data source and put it into Examine for searching.
There's no drag-and-drop solution for indexing external data sources.
Understood. Thanks again for all your help.
