hello

I thought my search requirement was straight forward but I’m struggling to work out the required chained query syntax to achieve it. Simply put I would like to find anything that is doctype X, Y or Z, and either field ’a’ or field ‘b’ has the search term “q”.

Code so far is:

                  _examineManager.TryGetSearcher("multisearchindex", out var cmsSearcher);
              var cmsCriteria = cmsSearcher.CreateQuery(null, BooleanOperation.Or); 
              var cmsQuery = cmsCriteria
                    .GroupedOr(new string[] { "__NodeTypeAlias" }, new string[] { "x", "y", "z" })
                    .And()
                    .Field("a", q)
                    .Or().Field("b", q)

In my head the pseudo logic is: (doctype is z or y or z) and (field a is q or field b is q), but the results I’m getting suggest the above doesn’t do that. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Ps "multisearchindex" is just my definition as per https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/searching/examine/pdfindex-multisearcher as results need to come from content and pdf media
