Hi Kusum

Can you share all the code please?

Where did you use @node.upload ?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex,

Thanks for replying.

I want to modify the code :
```
<h4><a href="@node.Url">@node.Name</a></h4>
```
to
```
<h4><a href="@node.Url">@node.upload</a></h4>
```
(but this is not working)

Thanks,

kusum

Hi k.

The list that loops out your search result is of type SearchResultItem, which is not dynamic, its a ViewModel with set properties. That's why you can't write @node.upload (node in this context is not dynamic).

However, the SearchResultItem object has a property @node.Id which is the id of the Umbraco content node, and using the UmbracoHelper, you can get any property you like to display.

So, in the SimplisticSearchResultView.cshtml file, first create an instance of the UmbracoHelper. (Outside of the foreach)
```
@{
        var umbracoHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
    }
```
Then, in you foreach (same view), you do this:
```
 @foreach (var node in searchResults)
        {
            var content = umbracoHelper.TypedContent(node.Id);

            <li>
                <h4><a href="@node.Url">@(content.GetPropertyValue<string>("upload"))</a></h4>
                <p>@(node.Description ?? "")</p>
            </li>
        }
```
Best of luck to you.

Hello,

I mean I wanted to use simplistic search to search nodes using the below exemple :

<select>
                          <option>CC</option>
                          <option>Less than 125cc</option>
                          <option>More than 125cc</option>
                        </select>

                        <select>
                          <option>Price</option>
                          <option>Rs 20 000 - Rs 30 000</option>
 </select>

Is it possible ?

Thanks,

Hi k.

No this is not a possible feature out of the box. This package is deprecated and you should have a look at ezSearch, it is a much faster and more configurable search package.
