    Examine - search child nodes to return parent nodes

    Hi All,

    I am trying to return a list of nodes by querying child nodes.

    For example my content is like so (node alias in brackets):

    Trips:

    • Cruising the River Kwai (Trip)
      • Hanoi (Related Location)
      • Vietnam (Related Location)
      • River Kwai (Related Location)
    • 3 Day Tour round Bangkok (Trip)
      • Bangkok (Related Location)
      • Thailand (Related Location)
    • Cycling in Battambang (Trip)
      • Vietnam (Related Location)
      • Battambang (Related Location)

    I am aiming to return a list of trips say on a country or city page; i.e. have a Vietnam page that would list out the first and last trip. So I need to query the Related Locations to return a unique list of trips that are relevant.

    I have this working using the IPublishedContent interface, but it is slow (even for a handful of trips).

    Is anyone able to give me some pointers as to how to construct an Examine search work for this?

    Thanks! Adam

    Hi Adam

    I think that xPath is your friend in this situation, please, have a look at "Common Pitfalls" article - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/Common-Pitfalls/#xpathnodeiterator-for-when-you-need-direct-xml-support

    You can query Trips with xPath like it's described in the article

    Thanks,

    Alex
