Hello, I'm fairly new to Umbraco and pretty much taking my first steps with it. I'm currently testing the search capabilities for a potential ecommerce implementation based on the Merchello package.

The versions I'm using are

• Umbraco v7.5.4 (assembly 1.0.6136.27241)
• Merchello v2.3.1

Just put together a very simple "search by Product" implementation where I'm trying to retrieve all the products that match a user given text. I want the search to retrieve back all Products in which the text was found in any of its fields. Here's what I'm doing (sorting by score)

<div class="row">
@{
    var searchQuery = Request.QueryString["query"];

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchQuery))
    {

        var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["MerchelloProductSearcher"];
        var productResults = Searcher.Search(searchQuery, true).OrderByDescending(x => x.Score);
        var merchelloHelper = new MerchelloHelper();

        <div class="searchresults">
            <p><strong>@productResults.Count().ToString()</strong> Products were found for <strong>@searchQuery</strong></p>

            <ul>
                @foreach (var prodResult in productResults)
                {
                    var node = merchelloHelper.TypedProductContent(new Guid(prodResult.Fields["productKey"]));
                    <li>
                        <a href="@node.Url">@node.Name</a>
                    </li>
                }
            </ul>
        </div>
    }
}

My problem is that this works only for the Product system fields (searches fine through product name, etc.). However, this will not retrieve matches for the User Fields. I see the User Fields properly indexed as detachedContents when I try the lucene search in the Examine Management UI. What do I have to do so that my code retrieves matches for those fields as well?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
