Hi,

I have built a custom indexer in Umbraco v.7.3.0 expecting to override the current Umbraco Internal Search functionality.

The aim

To be able to search against custom data that I have stored in a custom table and not against Umbraco nodes.

The problem

The custom searcher that I created called "ProductsSearcher" is working completely fine as I can find products but I would like those results to be coming in the quick internal search. However, no results are being displayed at all.

My custom Examine Index provider:

  <!-- Custom provider for the Products table -->
  <add name="ProductsIndexer" type="Examine.LuceneEngine.Providers.SimpleDataIndexer, Examine"
       dataService="*****.Examine.ProductsTableDirectReaderDataService, ****.Library"
       supportUnpublished="false"
       supportProtected="false"
       indexTypes="ProductType"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
       runAsync="true"
       enableDefaultEventHandler="true"
       />

My custom Examine search provider:

<providers>
  <add name="InternalSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"/>

  <add name="ExternalSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine" />

  <add name="InternalMemberSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcard="true"/>

  <add name="ProductsSearcher" type="Examine.LuceneEngine.Providers.LuceneSearcher, Examine"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
       indexSet="ProductsIndexSet"/>

</providers>

My custom Examine IndexSet:

<IndexSet SetName="ProductsIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/{machinename}/ProductsIndexSet">

<IndexUserFields>
  <add Name="Id" />
  <add Name="Sku" />
  <add Name="Name" />
</IndexUserFields>

</IndexSet>    

Thank you very much for your help!
