Hi,

I'm trying to exclude node Ids from an Examine search using the following code:

if (!ExamineManager.Instance.TryGetIndex(indexName, out IIndex index)) throw new Exception("Error");

ISearcher searcher = index.GetSearcher();

LuceneSearchQuery criteria = (LuceneSearchQuery)searcher.CreateQuery();

criteria.Field("__NodeTypeAlias", field);

criteria.Field("articleTags", fieldValue);

criteria.GroupedNot(new List<string> {"nodeId", "id", "__NodeId"}, excludedNodeIds.ToArray());

My query looks like this before executing:

{+__NodeTypeAlias:newsarticle +articleTags:"athlete rights" (-id:1203 -__NodeId:1203)}

Which looks ok to me, but the document with that nodeId is still being returned in the query results.

I've tried adding the Node Id as a custom field "nodeId" to the Examine index, transforming the node Id to a string and an integer, but still nothing.

Has anyone been able to do this, or is there an easier way of excluding node Ids from the query?

Thanks
