Examine search: filter out nodes with umbracoNaviHide

Extending Umbraco and using the API

Umbraco 7

Hi,

I am working a on combined search, which gets results from umbraco and from a custom table.

But i cant figure out how to filter out umbraco nodes with umbracoNaviHide set to 1. Also i would like to boost the Umbraco nodes so they appear first in the search results.
Can anyone help?

Here a some code. Here is a link to the entire razor page: http://www.pcl.dk/searchumb.cshtml.zip

 var searcherNamedCollection = new NameValueCollection();
    searcherNamedCollection.Add("indexSets", "ExternalIndexSet");
    searcherNamedCollection.Add("indexSets", "CustomIndexSet");

    var searchProvider = new Examine.LuceneEngine.Providers.MultiIndexSearcher();
    searchProvider.Initialize("ExternalSearcher", searcherNamedCollection);

    ISearchCriteria searchCriteria = searchProvider.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or);

    var searchQuery = searchCriteria.Field("nodeName", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Or().Field("grid", searchTerm).Or().Field("Udbyder", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Or().Field("Adresse", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Or().Field("KursusType", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Compile();

    ISearchResults searchResults = searchProvider.Search(searchQuery, maxResults: pageSize * (pageIndex + 1));

    var TotalItemCount = searchResults.TotalItemCount;
    var pagedResults = searchResults.Skip(pageIndex * pageSize);

Hi Peter,

Add the following to your searchCriteria:
```
.Not().Field("umbracoNaviHide", 1.ToString());
```
Cheers,

Marc

Is your custom index and umbraco index or something else? if it is something else it will not have umbracoNaviHide property

Hi,

Its only the Umbraco Index. Some pages has the umbracoNaviHide attribute set.

Wonder, if it could be as simple as adding a umbracoNaviHide attribute to the non Umbraco Index?

Peter,

Can you write out the generated query you can do this by outputting:

searchCriteria.ToString()

Just before you call searchProvider.Search

This will output the lucene query

Regards

Ismail

Hi,

Then i get this:

{ SearchIndexType: , LuceneQuery: nodeName:test~0.5 grid:test Udbyder:test~0.5 Adresse:test~0.5 KursusType:test~0.5 -umbracoNaviHide:1 }

But i still see nodes with umbracoNaviHide set to false.

Peter,

At the start of you query creation you have boolean.or setup and therefore the query generated will be too permissive so you have the part -umbracoNaviHide:1 however its part of an overall or. So change:

searchProvider.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or);

to

searchProvider.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.And);

and try again also can you output the generated query again as well please.

Hi,

It gives me this query: { SearchIndexType: , LuceneQuery: +nodeName:test~0.5 grid:test Udbyder:test~0.5 Adresse:test~0.5 KursusType:test~0.5 -umbracoNaviHide:1 }

No i dont see any data which matches Udbyder:test~0.5 Adresse:test~0.5 KursusType:test~0.5

only umb pages, but it does not filtered out pages with umbracoNaviHide.

Peter,

The query needs to look like:

+(nodeName:test~0.5 grid:test Udbyder:test~0.5 Adresse:test~0.5 KursusType:test~0.5) -umbracoNaviHide:1

So whatever is in brackets is an OR and outside bracket which is the navihide part is an and. So I am guessing you need a GroupedOr then an And

Hi,

This criteria:

var searchQuery = searchCriteria.GroupedOr(new List<string> { "nodeName", "grid", "Udbyder", "Adresse", "KursusType" }, searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Not().Field("umbracoNaviHide", 1.ToString()).Compile();

gives me:

 +(nodeName:test~0.5 grid:test~0.5 Udbyder:test~0.5 Adresse:test~0.5 KursusType:test~0.5) -umbracoUmbracoHide:1

But still the pages containing the word 'test' are include, even if they are set to true in umbracoNaviHide.

Its crazy.

Peter,

Any reason why you are creating the searcher on the fly in code rather than in examine.config? I didn't know you could do it this way you live and learn as they say lol

HI Ismail,

Do you mean this part?

var searcherNamedCollection = new NameValueCollection(); searcherNamedCollection.Add("indexSets", "ExternalIndexSet"); searcherNamedCollection.Add("indexSets", "CustomIndexSet");

Hi Peter

I haven't tried combining search collections, but does the setting supportProtected="false" in the examinesettings.config file do anything?

Thanks

Muiris

Hi,

I found a solution:

I added a searchprovider in ExamineSettings.config, which combines my 2 indexsets, instead of doing it in code.

Then my query was changed to this:

 var searchQuery = searchCriteria.Field("nodeName", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Or().Field("grid", searchTerm).Or().Field("Udbyder", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Or().Field("Adresse", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Or().Field("KursusType", searchTerm.Fuzzy()).Not().Field("umbracoNaviHide", 1.ToString()).Compile();

Which gives me this ouput:

nodeName:test~0.5 grid:test Udbyder:test~0.5 Adresse:test~0.5 KursusType:test~0.5 -umbracoNaviHide:1
