Hi all,

So, I successfully migrated my site from Umbraco 7 to 8. Initially I also managed to make my search feature work again.

Then I implemented using language variations. Now the search does not work.

My goal is to search the site (ideally in just the "support" section) and show the results. But only per language.

The current code follows:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@using Umbraco.Examine
@{
    var searchTerm = string.Empty;
    searchTerm = string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["search"]) ? string.Empty : Request["search"];

    if (searchTerm != string.Empty)
    {
        if(ExamineManager.Instance.TryGetIndex("ExternalIndex", out var index))
        {
            var searcher = index.GetSearcher();
            var results = searcher.CreateQuery("content").NodeTypeAlias("SupportItem").And().Field("bodyText", searchTerm).Execute();

            if (results.Any())
            {
                <h2 class="header-greenline">@Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("Results for") "@searchTerm"</h2>
                <ul>
                    @foreach (var result in results)
                    {
                        if (result.Id != null)
                        {
                            var node = Umbraco.Content(result.Id);
                            <li>
                                <a href="@node.Url">@node.Value("bodyHeadline")</a>
                            </li>
                        }
                    }
                </ul>
            }
            else
            {
                <p>@Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("No search results") @searchTerm</p>
            }
        }
        return;
    }
}

The above code consistenly returns zero results.

I hope someone can help my in the right direction. Thank you!
