How about this part instead of your "or" part:

(string.Concat(x.Name, " ", x.GetPropertyValue("fullName")).ToLower(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)).Contains(Query)

I don't think it can get much simpler though, I'd also like to see if anyone has anything else to suggest.

Hi,

Thanks, ill try that.

I thought that this part, could be addede directly to the where statement somehow.

foreach(var Page in hazardousMaterialPages) {

hazardousMaterialId = Page.Id.ToString();

}

As far as I understand you are asking whether you can include your whole where clause inside the foreach statement. If so, you can do that, like this:

foreach(var Page in hazardousMaterialPages.Where(...)) {

No,

rewrite the for loop, to be a direct part of the where statement.

The code only select one item as it is now.

I would suggest the following:

hazardousMaterialPages = hazardousMaterialPages.Where(x => x != null 
                                                    && x.IsVisible() 
                                                    && (x.Name.InvariantContains(Query) 
                                                    || x.GetPropertyValue<string>("fullName").InvariantContains(Query)));

Hi Jeavon,

Also nice, i wil use this: InvariantContains. Do i need a ToLower() and then InvariantContains?

Hi Sotiris,

I i do like this?

hazardousMaterialPages = hazardousMaterialPages.Where( x => x != null && x.IsVisible() && (string.Concat(x.Name, " ", x.GetPropertyValue("fullName")).ToLower().InvariantContains(Query)) ).FirstOrDefault();

The above gives me this error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable

How will i get the id of the selection into my variable?

Something like this?

hazardousMaterialId = hazardousMaterialPages.Id;

Got it.

hazardousMaterialPages = hazardousMaterialPages.Where( x => x != null && x.IsVisible() && (string.Concat(x.Name, " ", x.GetPropertyValue("fullName")).ToLower().InvariantContains(Query)) );

hazardousMaterialId = @hazardousMaterialPages.FirstOrDefault().Id;

Down to this:

hazardousMaterialId = Umbraco.TypedContent(1696).Descendants().Where(x => x != null && x.IsVisible() && (string.Concat(x.Name, " ", x.GetPropertyValue("fullName")).ToLower().InvariantContains(Query))).FirstOrDefault().Id.ToString();

But in case the query dosnt have any results , i need this:

hazardousMaterialPages = hazardousMaterialPages.Where(x => x != null && x.IsVisible() && (string.Concat(x.Name, " ", x.GetPropertyValue("fullName")).ToLower().InvariantContains(Query)));

if (hazardousMaterialPages.FirstOrDefault() != null) {

hazardousMaterialId = hazardousMaterialPages.FirstOrDefault().Id.ToString();

}

Is there an easier way for this?

is working on a reply...
