    Passing variable to Examine search

    Hi all,

    I'm currently toying around with Examine in XSLT. The problem is, that when I do this:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.examine:SearchMemberOnly('My searchterm', 'true', 'MemberSearcher')"/>

    I get the correct data back.

    But when I try to pass in a variable with the search term, I get the "No results" error? Is it possible at all to do what I want? :-)

    Thanks in advance.

    - Bo

    Hi Bo,

    How are you creating the variable?

    These should all behave equally:

    <xsl:variable name="searchString" select="'My searchterm'" />
<xsl:variable name="querySearch" select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('q')" />

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.examine:SearchMemberOnly('My searchterm', true(), 'MemberSearcher')" />

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.examine:SearchMemberOnly($searchString, true(), 'MemberSearcher')" />

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.examine:SearchMemberOnly($querySearch, true(), 'MemberSearcher')" />
    (Unless the method takes a (C#) string as argument 2, you should be sure to use a real XSLT boolean to make sure it behaves as you think the day you need to pass false in instead :-)

    Chriztian, you rock!

    The only thing that needed to change was 'true' to true() as you mentioned and I'm now getting results back.

    Thank you soooo much! :)
